Southwire 411020504 Machine Tool Wire 16 Awg Red 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 411020504 is a 16 AWG stranded machine tool wire designed for internal wiring of machine tools, control panels, and industrial equipment. It features a polyvinylchloride (PVC) insulation with an outside diameter of 0.12 inches and is built with 26 strands for improved flexibility compared to solid conductors. The wire handles a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F and a minimum of -4 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. This wire is rated to UL 1063 and CSA 22.2 No. 210 standards and is supplied in a 500-foot length on a single package quantity.

This machine tool wire is used in the internal wiring of automated machinery, CNC equipment, motor control centers, and industrial control cabinets. Its resistance to acids, moisture, and oil makes it well-suited for factory floor installations where exposure to fluids and contaminants is common. Electricians and industrial maintenance technicians typically specify this wire for panel builds and machine retrofits where flexible, rated conductors are required by code or equipment manufacturer guidelines.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-gauge machine tool wire suitable for internal wiring applications in industrial control panels, machine tools, and automated equipment requiring UL 1063 and CSA 22.2 No. 210 compliant conductors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out all circuits before routing or terminating conductors in control panels or machine enclosures. Use appropriate wire strippers and ferrule crimpers sized for 16 AWG stranded wire to avoid damaging strand count or insulation. Do not exceed the rated maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F at the conductor or insulation surface.
