Last time I bought this wire it was listed in gauges. Now in inches. Why the change? What a pain!

I agree. On that site, go to Show All. Then click the wire you think you might want. There you will find the gauge. This really is annoying, but you can find it.

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.

I wouldn't know myself, but on the listing it says this: Gauges : 12-16-25-32-42-54

Well, the wire is not marked but after comparing it to my other wire collection, it must be 10 ga. wire.Also now I noticed that it says 10AWG right in the description.

Does anyone know how to determine the gauge? The higher the number the smaller the wire. For dog fences like these and if you want them to last, 16 to 18 guage. Amazon is doing a bad job not listing the gauge on the posting....

Can anyone confirm the 7.5 number? I'm determined to buy a wire that this thicker than stock.

SORRY, my mistake. Woke up at 3:30 am and thought I gave the wrong information. IT'S THE 12 GAUGE YOU WANT NOT THE 14. I got them mixed up. Home Depot will exchange it for you.

Before you consider putting anything in excess of 20 amps through this cord, you should measure the resistance of its wires. Are they really 10 gauge? I measured my cord and got 170 milliohms for the hot/neutral and 270 milliohms for the ground connector along the full 100' length using the three outlet version of this 10/3 cable (http://www.amazon.com/Contractor-Grade-Foot-Extension-Cord/dp/B000BMFWC8), indicating that its fictional 10/3 really means 12/2 for the hot/neutral (with either 19/25 (more likely) or 16/30 (less likely) stranding) and 14 AWG for the ground! The reason I bothered to measure is because it was way too thin and light to be a true 10/3 cable, so I decided to verify, something all of the five star reviewers of this cable haven't bothered to do. Think about it, can a true 10/3 well insulated copper extension cord that is 100 feet long weigh only 18 lbs? Answer: No! There is a reason why this cord has NEMA 5-15 connectors on it and is officially rated 1875 W/15 A - 12 gauge wiring is used for hot/neutral and an appalling 14 gauge for ground.

It's probably a 18 gauge wire. I didn't check the size because I was using it for a GPS.

Greetings. Please excuse my late response. I do not see a specific gauge listed, but as a previous post lists, it has" clore powerflex-II #2AWG cable 600V -40°C welding cable". I measure it to be 1/2 inch thick. I did not do a" Google search" for jumper cable gauges, but that may also help. I hope this has helped. I have not used mine yet, but it seems like a high quality item.

I would have to say 4 gauge at the max. I got a 0/1 gauge wire and had to cut a good bit just to get it to fit in. Mines still going strong good luck!(:

Solder is never sold in a wire gauge. Wire gauge is used to define electrical conducting (non-ferrous solid or stranded wire) usually copper as defined by the Brown and Sharpe standard. The size is .062" which is over twice as big as 22AWG. Although solder is conductive it does not retain its diameter since its melting point is very low compared to copper. I don't know if this explanation is what you wanted to know.

mine was fine when received from the seller. The gauge will probably still work ok. Just make certain you handle & store carefully.Nick

Thank you I had thought so but when I got the charge/controller it said to use this weird formula to figure gauge size. Go figure. Again thanks.

I used 14 gauge, and it fits with plenty of room. Appears as if 12 gauge will work too. The trick is to have just enough wire coming out and over the edge to make a proper connection. Works like a charm.

Yes it is. This is actually a bit bigger than the 0awg standard. Dont skimp out with cheep wires, stick with good brands such as knu. Many cheep brands claim to be 0awg but they are really 4 gauge or sometimes even higher with lots of insulation on the wire. Hope this helped
