number of conductors & gage
1662607
There are four wires, Red, Green, Yellow and Black. The individual wire gauge is fine, but the outside cord seems pretty sturdy. I think I'd consider this "heavy duty" only as far as office settings go. I wouldn't expect it to last long on a shop floor where it is being continuously stretched to limit. I've only owned it for 7 months but haven't had an issue.

these wires are nowhere near 22 gauge wires. they have 4 strands inside each wire. the outside might be 22ga but the inner wires are much thinner

I would get a 4 gauge wireing kit, brand doesn't really matter as long as it's good quality and is a true 4 guage kit. It would probably cost around 30-40$

It is an electrical code designation. Probably identifies 12 gauge wire with specific insulating materials.

The answer depends on the size and length of the wire you are trying to protect. This chart shows the maximum current for different wire sizes. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/amps-wire-gauge-d_730.html

you don't have to use the same gauge wire in each terminal.10 gauge will work fine.

I don't have any extra 4 gauge to check it but my 12 gauge is copper strand wire. I remember when I was putting it in I was very impressed with the quality. The only thing I would do different is the audio cable. Very small remote power wire and the connectors are cheap.

According to the AWG chart, 2 guage wire is good for up to 181 amps. Here's the link to the chart. For your specific application you should consult an electrician. http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm

Be sure you have good chassis ground with at least 18 guage wires, both positive and negative.

Glad to help. This kit is great. Comes in very handy when needed. However, I believe #8 gauge is the largest wire it can be used on.

There are four number 10 guage conductors in this cable. That's what 10/4 means. Runs my whole house, minus A/C.

Don't know the gauge, but the wires are thick, heavy duty and not too long, so I don't think you'll have issues with them. I haven't.

Both are 4 conductor, but the solders in mine were crap and the thing fell apart one time when I unplugged it.The 4 conductor functionality also didn't work very well.

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.

Typically, the heavier the gauge, the less resistance. 4 guage is probably overkill especially since the distance you'll be using is very short. 8 or even 10 should be totally sufficient.

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.

Yes , 16 gauge is fine. The spec's state it is good for 14 guage (which is larger wire) as well.
