What gauge is the wire?

It is 22 or 24. It was perfect for extending the LED light strips. I needed 2 foot extensions and I couldn't find them so I made my own with this ribbon cable and the 4 way connectors

I got it for a relative. I don't know what gauge it is, but it was built really cheap.

Hi, KenG,The information that came with this indoor extension cord didn't indicate a wire gauge. It does, however, have information that may contain a code for the size of the gauge that perhaps you would recognize. Here is all of the information that is on the cord: 13A, 125V, 1625W, E186244, A432173C3. I hope this helps.

Reported specs state 16 gauge, this seems about right after installing the wires. The gauge is sufficient to operate tail lights and clearance lights on my trailers.

8-gauge wire has a diameter of 0.12849 inches11-gauge wire has a diameter of 0.09074 inches.1/8 Inch wire = 0.125 inches8 gauge is the closest American Wire Gauge number for 0.125-inch diameter wire.It looks like it will be close...

Are the connecting wires of appropriate gauge? You need at least 14 gauge wire to supply power. I sized mine up to 12 gauge which is rated for 20 amps.

I use a relatively low gauge but am out of town so can't say accurately. Mine is NOT the heavy "round" wire.

I don't know gauge, but works nicely for 30 amp service to my living quarter horse trailer.

it is 18 gauge with a heavier plastic covering. it had worked well for me over the past 6 months, but will break. I would have gone with the heavier wire, but actually thought this was 14 gauge.

18 gauge. It's not really the thickness of the wire but it is the outside coating that makes this the wire to use. Any thicker wire and it is harder to install...just a thought

Yes. All wire, no plugs. Wire and jacket is very thick. I would say 8-10 gauge.

I used 12/2 gauge, but knowing the length of wire and total wattage if bulbs is key

Full proof of the gauge size would require cutting the cable and measuring the wire diameter. But all indications are that it is indeed, a genuine 12 gauge conductor. The imprint on the cable reads that it is 12 gauge, and a small bit of the wire that's visible in the translucent connector appears to be 12 gauge. Using it with heavy power tools, there is almost no current lag at startup. So, I'd say it's plenty safe to assume it is 12 gauge.

Just like the other responses - it really is hard to tell BUT since I work with car audio installations; i would say it is about a 12 gauge solid-core wire. It is stiff and I had to use pliers to twist it for my purpose (clothes line). Good luck.

I have two gauge in mine. That's prob. Pretty close to as big as it goes due to size of the connector that wire goes into.

The single strand of wire measures about 18 gauge. It is rated for 50 pounds working load.

The wire is labeled 18 gauge. I was expecting a thicker gauge as well. If there is any good news here, it is the better rated 600 V and 105 degree wire.
