Southwire 411020505 Machine Tool Wire 16 Awg Green 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 411020505 is a 16 AWG stranded machine tool wire designed for internal wiring of machine tools, control panels, and industrial equipment. The conductor features 26 strands for increased flexibility during routing and termination. Insulated with polyvinylchloride (PVC), the wire carries an outside diameter of 0.12 inches and is rated for continuous operation up to 221 degrees F. It is supplied in green color coding on a 500-foot length, making it suitable for panel shops and industrial electricians working through larger wiring runs.

This wire is used in the internal wiring of machine tools, automated equipment, and control enclosures in both light industrial and heavy manufacturing environments. Its resistance to acid, moisture, and oil makes it appropriate for machine tool environments where exposure to cutting fluids and lubricants is common. The 500-foot spool supports production-level panel wiring work. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers. It meets CSA 22.2 No. 210 and UL 1063 standards, which are commonly required on listed equipment builds.

Key Features

• 16 AWG, 26-strand construction for flexibility in tight routing applications
• PVC insulation rated to 221 degrees F maximum operating temperature
• Acid-resistant, moisture-resistant, and oil-resistant insulation
• 0.12-inch outside diameter for use in standard machine tool wiring channels

Compatibility

Designed for use as internal wiring in machine tools and industrial control panels where UL 1063 or CSA 22.2 No. 210 rated wire is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified industrial maintenance technician in accordance with NFPA 79 (Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery) and applicable local codes. De-energize all equipment and lock out and tag out per OSHA procedures before routing or terminating wire. Avoid sharp bend radii that could stress the insulation, and confirm terminal block ratings are compatible with 16 AWG conductors before termination. Do not use this wire for applications exceeding its rated operating temperature or outside its listed resistance specifications.
