The MWS M16878/6BCB7 is a high-performance hook-up wire supplied in approximately 50-foot spools per unit. It combines a 28 AWG silver-plated copper conductor with extruded PTFE insulation to deliver exceptional performance across general-purpose, medium, and high-temperature wiring applications. This MIL-W-16878/6 Type ET construction resists thermal aging, solder iron damage, open flames, moisture, solvents, and UV radiation—making it the standard choice for aerospace, military, and industrial harness work where reliability is non-negotiable.
