What is the gauge of the internal wires? Many are 28-AWG and only handle 400mA at 5v at 10 feet. Need 20-AWG for little voltage drop over 10 feet.

Hello e6bwhiz, This cable is a 26-AWG cable. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support 856-216-8222 support@mediabridgeproducts.com

The gauge has been answered, but to note that regardless I have absolutely no trouble pushing 2000mA from my charger to my phone with this. I did not test it directly, but the charging time is (approximately) the same from charger to phone with this as with the stock cable provided and charging is quick.I've tried other 26-AWG cables and lost most of the amperage.

Don't have a clue of the gauge of the internal wires. But the cable is a lot thicker than the normal usb cables. I have no problem charging my smart phone with it.

Just received a pack of these and the outside of the box says 30 AWG. Seems cheap to me--am wondering if I should find something else.

Yes it is 8 AWG. On the insulation it says 450/750 Volts 10mm2. On my application I used 4 AWG jumper cable leads from the car battery to the inverters. Then using the 8 AWG cables to tie the two inverters together. Worked perfectly. Good Luck.

Not made for large gauge wires. I think it will handle up to 18-16 awg no problem

Yes, the #10 wire is rated to carry 30 amps. This is the same rating of wire used in a home to supply a 30 amp connection. While not recommended, I previously used two extensions (100 ft total length) similar to this cord and had no significant voltage drop even at that length. I have had satisfactory service with this extension cable.

0 Gauge wire should be used!That is what is ran to my Brutus.At the very least a deep cycle battery (fast discharge) should be used!My total system wattage is 5400& I use 0 to each amplifer!The more voltage the better!!!Don't Skimp Out!

It's 20 gauge. If you decide to solder a long run yourself, don't go any thinner. These power supplies are rated at 2 amps and the camera has a pretty good draw. The voltage drop will be too much.

You only 16-18awg wire for these speakers. No bigger gauge is necessary. One thing I look for is Oxygen free copper wire, I've had great success with that. Here's a link. - Mediabridge 16AWG Speaker Wire (100 Feet) - Spooled Design with Sequential Foot Markings - (Part# SW-16X2-100-CL )

The gauge was not marked, but my guess is they are about 18 ga stranded. They carry low voltage (12v dc) and very little amperage, Work just fine.

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.

I believe its a 10 gauge wire.but to be honest, this spacific model comes with more than 5 feet of wire

Standard 3-prong. 120v extension cord. 12awg is the wire gauge and is recomended if you use a 100ft cord, but a lot of the 100 ft cords are only 14 awg or 16. A 14 would do just fine.

I got mine as 16AWG 105C 300v FT2 UL certified. The Wire's are thick and well made.

You will need a minimum of 6 gauge wire, if the length of your wire is under 20 feet use 6 gauge and over 20 feet use 4 gauge wire. Great Product!

4 AWG wire can actually handle 150 amps up to13 feet. But i personally wouldnt use 4 AWG for more than 10 feet of power cable. So depending on how long your power cable is you should be fine. Crutchfield has a great wire size chart on their site

Since insulated, not really sure, but the gauge is high . . . maybe 28. Not really for carrying much current.

size of wire is mute when application is non critical. i.e.: 22a is a std size for auto speaker wire, 18/20 ga (commonly called "zip cord") is good for small appliances, lamps long distance speaker wire. 18/20 ga is a common size for many uses, depending on your needs. All wires I have mentioned is stranded, so is the 20 ga I got from Amazon. solid wire has specific use as opposed to stranded. Stranded is also cheaper. Check with your electrician for more specific uses.
