Southwire 411040503 Machine Tool Wire 12 Awg Orange 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 411040503 is a 12 AWG stranded machine tool wire rated for continuous use in industrial control and machine tool wiring applications. Constructed with 65-strand copper conductors and a polyvinylchloride (PVC) jacket, this wire delivers flexibility and durability in tight routing environments. The outside diameter measures 0.155 inches, and the wire is rated from -22 degrees F to 221 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding thermal environments inside electrical enclosures, control panels, and automated machinery. Each spool provides 500 feet of continuous wire in a high-visibility orange jacket.

This wire is intended for internal wiring of machine tools, industrial control panels, and automation equipment. It meets NFPA 79 requirements for electrical standards on industrial machinery, making it a common choice for OEM machine builders and electrical panel shops. The orange color aids in circuit identification within multi-wire enclosures. Electricians, panel builders, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers for this product type.

Key Features

• 12 AWG, 65-strand copper construction for flexibility in tight routing paths
• PVC insulation rated to 221 degrees F maximum operating temperature
• Resistant to acid, moisture, and oil — suited for industrial machine environments
• High-visibility orange jacket for circuit identification inside panels
• 500-foot continuous spool length reduces splice points on large jobs
• Compliant with UL 1063, UL 83, UL 758, UL 1426, NFPA 70, NFPA 79, and CSA 22.2 No. 127/210

Compatibility

Designed for internal wiring of machine tools and industrial control panels where NFPA 79 or UL 508A-compliant wire is specified at 12 AWG.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified panel builder in accordance with NFPA 70 and NFPA 79. De-energize all equipment and lock out power sources before routing or terminating wire. Use appropriate wire management hardware to avoid sharp bends that could stress the insulation over time. Verify conductor termination ratings match the wire gauge before landing connections.
