Southwire 411040504 Machine Tool Wire 12 Awg Red 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 411040504 is a 12 AWG machine tool wire designed for internal wiring of industrial machinery and control panels. Constructed with 65 strands of fine copper and a polyvinylchloride (PVC) insulation jacket, this wire delivers flexibility and durability in demanding environments. The outside diameter measures 0.155 inches, and the wire is rated for operating temperatures from -22 degrees F up to 221 degrees F. Each spool provides 500 feet of red-jacketed wire, giving electricians and machine builders ample length for most panel wiring jobs. It is commonly installed by licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians working to NFPA 79 machine wiring standards.

This wire is suited for use inside machine tool enclosures, control cabinets, and automated equipment where flexible, oil-resistant, and moisture-resistant wiring is required. The red color coding assists with circuit identification during installation and maintenance. Typical applications include CNC machinery, conveyor controls, and other industrial equipment requiring UL-listed internal wiring that meets NFPA 79 and NEC (NFPA 70) requirements.

Compatibility

Designed for internal wiring applications in industrial machine tools and control enclosures where UL-listed, flexible PVC-insulated wire meeting NFPA 79 requirements is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NFPA 79 and NFPA 70 (NEC). De-energize all equipment and lock out power sources before pulling or terminating wire. Use appropriate cable management, strain relief, and termination hardware rated for the conductor size and application. Avoid bending the wire beyond its minimum bend radius during routing inside enclosures.
