Alpha Wire RD005 Hook Up Wire Red 16 AWG PVC UL1061 300V

Alpha Wire RD005 Hook-Up Wire is a 16 AWG stranded copper conductor with red PVC insulation, engineered for internal wiring in electronics and control equipment where flexible routing matters. The RD005 series uses a 7×24 strand configuration, delivering the suppleness needed for tight bends, harness assemblies, and point-to-point connections inside enclosures without excessive memory. Each spool provides 100.0' (30.5 m) of conductor, making it suitable for prototyping as well as longer runs in assembled products. The PVC insulation supports a voltage rating of 300 V, offering reliable dielectric performance in low-voltage circuits and interconnections. Its bright red color supports straightforward color-coding during assembly, testing, and maintenance, helping trace circuits quickly in complex harnesses or multi-wire installations. Alpha Wire, a long-standing supplier of hook-up wire, labels this RD005 variant for general-purpose internal wiring where 16 AWG copper conductors are needed in a single-color insulation plan.
