12 AWG (65/30) MTW ROHS
12 AWG MTW Hook-Up Wire features 65/30 stranded bare copper conductors with tough PVC insulation rated 600 V. It offers excellent flexibility, oil and moisture resistance, and meets UL 1063 and CSA TEW standards for machine-tool and industrial wiring applications.
Overview
12 AWG (65/30) MTW RoHS Hook-Up Wire
12 AWG MTW Hook-Up Wire is a robust, flexible copper wire designed for heavy-duty industrial and control wiring. Its finely stranded bare copper conductor and thick PVC insulation provide excellent mechanical durability, oil resistance, and flexibility for routing through machinery and control enclosures.
Rated for 600 V and temperatures up to 90 °C (194 °F) in dry locations and 60 °C (140 °F) in wet environments, this wire complies with UL 1063 (MTW), UL 1015 (AWM), and CSA TEW standards. Ideal for use in motor controls, machine tools, and industrial panels requiring high flexibility and long-term reliability.

Product Notices
You can enter your desired cut lengths above — up to 5 different lengths per order. We’ll automatically calculate the total footage and quantity based on your entries. Please note that larger quantities or complex cuts may affect shipping method or processing time.
Please follow the rules below for valid cuts:
• Cuts must be between 250.00 ft and 15,000.00 ft.
• Any length within this range is allowed.
This product may contain a colored stripe based on your selections. Stripe pattern or color may vary between cuts and spools. If stripe uniformity is critical to your application, please contact us before placing your order.
Note: Stripe customization may increase lead times for certain products, as striped wire is made to order and not typically stocked.
