wire selection help needed [RE-wrenches]

[Mick Abraham]

Hi, #6 THHN is easy for me to find but I want something more flexible 
than that. The guys that make X-Flex cable also build smaller sizes; my 
Cobra sales rep says this is actually called UL1015 when gauged small, 
but they only have it in black. 

I've considered using the Arctic Ultraflex as may be admired inside one 
of the new Xantrex XW power distribution boxes. It's available in 
colors, but it has to ship from Anchorage...a cost burden unless one is 
buying by the mile. I don't need cold weather flexibility nor sunlight 
resistance...I just need a good non-exotic substitute for THHN that has 
more strands of finer wire.

Could I get a Wrench recommendation for what to look for? UL1283 seems 
to be showing up (along with UL1015) from my primitive research so far. 
I think what I want might fall into the category of MTW machine tool 
wire, or maybe "hookup wire". I have an account with Anixter so if I can 
figure out what to ask for, I might be able to get it through them. 
Alternate vendor suggestions would be welcomed, but should perhaps come 
off list to maintain good List etiquette.

Thanks,
