What Gauge is this wire? I need 12 gauge half hard sterling silver wire, do you have this available?

The other poster stated that this is 24 gauge. I do not know if 12 gauge 1/2 hard is available.

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.

12 gauge is only good for 20A 10 gauge is only rated for 30A. So you need much bigger wire

I like the Phoenix Gold 12 ga. wire sold here on Amazon.Better off w/o connectors. Just wrap the bare wire around the post at least 1.5 turns.

I am not positive of the wire i used since it was from a previous set. I would guess it was 12 gauge or heavier. The fixture clip did not receive it well. A smaller wire would have fit better. The wir4e is so large I am having some intermittent issues where I must wiggle the wire to have the light come on.

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.

Yes that gauge wire should be no problem. These were actually larger than I was expecting.

This listing is generic and does not specify, they can be either gauge, better ask each individual seller to be sure.

I used an 8 gauge wire and it worked fine for me. Just make sure that it is actually 8 gauge of wire, a lot of the time wire gauge is falsely advertised.

Hello...the only way I could figure out the gauge was to click on the Part Number and under the wire picture click on: "READ FULL Product Description" which states the gauge of the wire. There are 32 parts listed, but because 6 ga is really thick & heavy, you could scan the parts for minimal feet, heavy weigh, and higher cost. Have fun....but I loved the wires I received 18 & 22 gauge....and many more to be bought!

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

I just hit the home depo for the wire's. It's 12g wire I got 50ft of red & black for like $30.

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.

14 gauge std. I didn't try a 12 gauge in the slot but I think it might be to big. you might be able to use the side screw terminals for the 12.

12 Gauge Landscape Wire and Amazon does sell it (Paradise GL22136 Low Voltage 100-Foot 12 Gauge Landscape Wire).

My wire is 18 gauge. The wire gauge doesn't matter as there isn't any current going through it. The coating on the outside needs to be able to be buried (ground contact wire) which this is. there isn't any stress on the wire so it doesn't need to be thick, thicker wire will be harder to use when installing. Bottom line don't worry about this wire. I installed this wire 15 years ago and only just needed to do it again since we re-landscaped our yard and tore up the old wire. I figured new wire was better than a bunch of splices. good luck.

I'm not sure about 12 gauge wire, I used 14/2 (Coleman cable) and on one run I have 230' running 17 lights (Paradise lights - will add Approx. 3-4 more) directional (spot lights) I have one run 18 gauge approx. 50' w\20 lights (Moon Rays) and another 14 gauge approx.150' running 12 Moon Rays. I like the Paradise lights they have the leads coming out un like the Moon Rays I have were the cable goes up inside (loop). If you still have to go with 12 gauge, I would with Paradise (lead type) and the loop kind not so much. Might get pretty tight up around the loop.
