Thhncu-generic tfn16solblk500r Tfn 16 Awg Solid Copper Wire

Product Description

The THHNCU-GENERIC tfn16solblk500r is a 16 AWG solid copper conductor wire with TFN insulation, supplied on a 500-foot spool in black. TFN (Thermoplastic Fixture Nylon) insulation is rated for dry and damp locations and is commonly used in lighting fixture wiring, low-voltage control circuits, and light-duty branch circuit applications. The solid copper construction provides consistent conductivity and is well suited for terminal connections where stranded wire is not required. Electricians and HVAC technicians reach for this wire when wiring thermostats, control boards, and fixture leads inside conduit or fixture raceways.

This wire is appropriate for residential and light commercial electrical work where a 16 AWG solid conductor is specified. Typical applications include wiring fluorescent and LED lighting fixtures, low-voltage control wiring, and short branch circuit runs inside enclosures or fixture housings. The black jacket makes it straightforward to follow standard color-coding conventions for line-side conductors in multi-wire assemblies. The 500-foot spool format reduces mid-job splicing and is practical for larger fixture installation projects or stocking a service vehicle.

Key Features

• 16 AWG solid copper conductor for reliable conductivity and firm terminal seating
• TFN insulation rated for dry and damp location use
• Black jacket supports standard electrical color-coding practices
• 500-foot spool reduces splices and suits larger jobs or vehicle stocking
• Suitable for lighting fixture leads, control wiring, and light branch circuit use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose TFN 16 AWG solid copper wire for use in lighting fixtures, low-voltage control circuits, and similar applications where this conductor type and gauge are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage with a meter before making any connections. TFN wire is rated for dry and damp locations only — do not install in wet locations or outdoors without additional protection. Observe the ampacity limits for 16 AWG conductors as defined by NEC Table 310.15 for the specific installation conditions.
