UL 1283 PVC Wire 6 AWG — 105°C, 600 Vac, with Optional 2500 V Peak Electronic Use Tag
UL 1283 in 6 AWG combines a heavy-gauge internal wiring conductor with extruded PVC insulation rated 105°C maximum at 600 Vac, and uniquely offers a tag-marked option extending the component to internal electronic circuits at up to 2500 V peak. At 6 AWG, this size bridges the gap between mid-range hook-up wire and the heavier power conductors in the style, making it a practical choice for internal power distribution wiring where the designer also needs the 2500 V peak electronic recognition without switching to a separate style. CableApex supplies this size as a UL Recognized Component — file on record.

Applications
Within its permitted use — internal wiring, with optional 2500 V peak electronic use tag — UL 1283 6 AWG suits internal power distribution conductors and electronic circuit wiring inside equipment where the 2500 V peak tag marking is required alongside standard 600 Vac component recognition. Equipment-specific applications such as machine tools or control panels fall outside the explicit permitted use description; confirm application suitability before specifying for those end uses. Where the wiring contacts oil inside the equipment, specify the 60°C or 80°C oil-resistant option at time of order.
