what gauge is the wire?

Not heavy enough for power cables, they get very hot at 3 amperes. Not sure of the gauge wire but I'd guestimate it to be about the same as Dollar A dozen jumper cables w/alligator clips.

It is defiantly not 20 awg or 18 awg, I would say about 24 or less. Wouldn't run more then an few amp through it transient. Maybe 1 amp constant.

Typical low voltage power supply range...I would think no more than 20 guage ...for 12 volts +-

The ones I received January 2015 are marked 20 GA.Should be good for 5 to 6A. Connectors themselves not rated, but appears to be good plating and large surface area.

I really do not know the wire gauge size, however these are sold primarily for the Battery Tender which only puts out 3/4 amps.

Not sure of the gauge, but itis solid copper wire covered in a heavy duty black plastic. We laid 2500 ft, both in the ground, and on over the ground in places we couldn't bury (the woods). We used regular lawn staples, and enclosed about 10 acres with invisible fence brand system. We were very pleased, and 6 months later, no problems!

I have two gauge in mine. That's prob. Pretty close to as big as it goes due to size of the connector that wire goes into.

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.

should be 16 gauge, see link, http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/amps-wire-gauge-d_730.html, but i believe the warranty will be void if you alter the cables, check the warranty statement.

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

I know it is well wrapped and the connectors are really great but as to the wire guage I'm not really sure. If I had to guess I would think either 12 or 14

I don't know gauge, but works nicely for 30 amp service to my living quarter horse trailer.

I don't know the gauge, but I can say the product has been effective as fencing around a garden, used in conjunction with 7 foot fence posts.

Can't really tell what gauge the wire is by measuring insulation (gauge should be printed on wire). I can tell you that these tyoe of connectors (often refered to as Anderson connectors) are very forgiving and will take up to a 6 gauge wire (I usuallt solder the wires in rather than crimping them)

The UL spec for the wire gauge is 16AWG. We ALWAYS meet or exceed the specification requirement. Anything thinner (such as 18AWG) may NOT meet the UL specifications.

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

Are the connecting wires of appropriate gauge? You need at least 14 gauge wire to supply power. I sized mine up to 12 gauge which is rated for 20 amps.

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

It's a small gauge wire, I'm guessing 18 , so like the other guy said I wouldn't be putting a lot of amps on this no more than 3-5 amps, I bought these with my meter, the alligator clips help me out when clipping onto t-pins from back probing wires

Wire and connectors are 22 gauge, very thin I will be replacing them with different ones. I guess you get what you pay for?
