You can reasonably connect 4 panels at 128 Watts and 24 Volts each using this spider. Connect the single lead to a 10AWG cable (sold separately from Amazon) and then to your charge controller. This is my set-up and the set-up of many other responders here. So, to answer your question, I believe the four conductors may not be 10AWG, but the single one I believe to be 10AWG. All stranded. I used the MC4 connectors sold separately from Amazon.

Not 100% sure because it's about 100 miles from here so we can't check, but our guess is 10 or 12 gauge. Wish we could be more specific.

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

The gauge size of the wire is 12 gauge and can be upgraded to 10 gauge if you order directly from the Renogy store. -LP

12 & 10 gauge for the brakes. You should be happy with this cable. Just a FYI, I mounted a 4x4 plastic electrical box with gasket & screw on cover, on the front of the trailer and made all the connections in this water tight box. Put grease inside each wire connector before screwing the wires on. Takes a little more time however it's been years with no electrical problems.

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.

A good brand 8 Gauge should be good for this amp, if(I don't know how you could)you added an extra $10 on the purchase, I have some New 8 Gauge Rolls, I could put together a pretty nice wire kit and ship together! And I can Print of the 18 Page Manual to send along also. Or email it to you!

I used 16 gage and my system sounds fine. The thicker the wire is, the better. But I think 16 gage is fine for most applications.

About a 10 or 12 gauge. Great for hanging light items, but blankets.........

Proper wire size is determined by the load (Amps) and length of wire needed. Search for "12v wire sizing chart" to see a breakdown. I use 16 gauge wire which will carry up to 5 Amps 15 feet with about 3% voltage drop.

you should use 12 gauge wire, but you could use 16 gauge if not running long distance.

I Binged the question and found the answer, I would use the 16 gauge wire, especially if you putting the time into making them. I hope that this answers your question.

I am using the ones it came with. But as for 10 feet? Yes, with the correct gauge wire....as you indicated you would use.

check to see if your wire is 10 guage. Make sure that you have the insert with the smallest pin in the female connector

I used 16 gauge and its working great. I think you can use 14 as well but 16 works fine so save a few 4.

I can't say for certain the gauge of the wire since it's installed but I would guess 12. I only remember two wires.

It is advertised as 10 awg, but wire is actually 12 awg.Wire looks bigger because insulation is pretty thick.
