Southwire 411040502 Machine Tool Wire 12 Awg Yellow 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 411040502 is a 12 AWG machine tool wire designed for internal wiring of machine tools, control panels, and industrial equipment. The conductor uses 65-strand construction, providing flexibility in routing through tight conduit runs and panel layouts. PVC insulation with a 0.155-inch outside diameter handles a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F and a minimum of -22 degrees F. This wire ships in a 500-foot length, making it suitable for stocking in a shop or completing larger wiring projects without splicing. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This machine tool wire is suited for internal wiring applications in industrial control enclosures, machine tool panels, and automated equipment. The stranded construction aids routing in confined spaces common to control cabinet work. The PVC insulation carries acid-resistant, moisture-resistant, and oil-resistant ratings, which are relevant in shop-floor environments where fluid exposure is a routine concern. The yellow jacket aids circuit identification inside multi-wire assemblies.

Compatibility

Designed for use as machine tool wire in industrial control panels, machine tool enclosures, and similar internal wiring applications where UL 1063 or NFPA 79 compliance is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) and NFPA 79 for industrial machinery. De-energize and lock out the equipment before beginning any wiring work inside a control enclosure. Use appropriate wire strippers sized for 12 AWG to avoid nicking the strands. Verify that terminal block and connector ratings are compatible with 12 AWG conductors before terminating.
