hello I order these Hook up Wire Kit (Stranded Wire Kit) but I was not sure if its soft wire

Yes, you could call it soft. I am using the wire (in a 3d printer) controlling moving parts. The constant flexing of the wire has not caused any problems.

It is stranded wire so it has some degree of flexibility. Do not kink or make sharp bends with it and expect it not to break.

Krista, Yes, this is considered soft wire, you can bend to any position. Should be strong enough to run almost anywhere. It is not fire proof, so be careful not to run near hot items. Cheers, Charlie

stranded wires are insulation around multiple smaller generally copper wires where as solid is one single thicker wire surrounded by insulation rather than multiple smaller wires, stranded tends to be less rigid and frays easily solid does not fray and stays rigid much easier

worked great for me and my wire was not coated --- probably doesn't matter. Make sure your wire size and anchor size match.

Yes. Mine was 18 or 20 gage solid wire. I was told stranded wire will not work because it carries a radio transmission. I have it around 5 acres and it works perfect.

As long as the wire insulation is not old/ stiff these work great. I have only used them on stranded wire, not solid core though.

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.

No. I ordered the wire kit from amazon. Usually it shows below the item as recommended parts.

The wire is labeled 18 gauge. I was expecting a thicker gauge as well. If there is any good news here, it is the better rated 600 V and 105 degree wire.

The wire is actually black; I do not know what the gauge is. I can tell you it is thicker then the yellow wire you would find in a walmart pet aisle or basic pet store. I have been using it for about a year in our old house, when we moved i ordered the same wire in the new house and it has worked flawlessly. Note I install the wire above ground and use landscape stakes to keep it in place. Have had no issue's.

Hello, according to datacomm its just a standard 14/2 electrical wire . hope this helps . its a great kit and definitely keeps everything neat and professional looking

The kit power and ground wires are bare. If you want to hook it up to fuse box you will need the wire ends that the fuse box will accept. I spliced them to my radio harness power and ground since they already are attached to the fuse box. You can probably find a help video on Youtube.

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 think you want to know if the wire is solid core or stranded wire. It is solid core. Which means one solid copper wire. If you mean one spool of wire, then no, it is several different colors.

You should verify the polarity of these wires before to have those connected to anything. Mine comes with brown and blue wires.

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

The CCA makes it to where this is aluminum wire stranded that is wrapped in copper. It's a lot thicker but cheaper than the same load of wire made of solid or stranded copper. it's also quite flexible. It says it's Rated for 250A load @ 20' so you need to decide on the load you're trying to pull with this wire and the run of it as well.

Hard wired, but kit comes with the wire nuts. Pretty simple install. All you need is a Philips screwdriver if I remember correctly.
