Is this one spoil of 1000 feet wire? I don't want to splice the wires. What gauge is this wire?

This is a Solid core wire with two 500 feet rolles. I think the gauge is like 14 or 16. The best quality is that one that you get with this company.

Ours is a continuous wire, 500 ft. Long. It says "500/152.4M". We actually did NOT use the yellow wire that came with our system -- we ended up getting a spool (black) from Amazon that is more robust. It had good reviews: being heavier gauge and stronger, less easier to break. We are in Colorado & our snowplow guy broke it near the driveway this winter but we spliced it. I am glad that we bought the heavier wire. I'm not sure what gauge it is but on the top of the spool it says "20/1 UF 1000". Hope this info is helpful!

Hi Sherry, The spool I received was all one piece. I don't remember the guage but it was heavy duty wire for a pet containment system. I've had one for over 20 years. I was very happy with this purchase.

It was one spool of 1000 feet, it is heavy guage. I do believe it was 18guage wire

10 ga. wire has a diameter .1019 inch and can handle a maximum of 55 amps-depending on the type and temp of the cable. It is my opinion that this size wire is too large for these connectors, would be very difficult to assemble and if you need to draw this amount of current it would probably be unsafe.

Yes it's copper wire and yes it's stranded. Make sure you are using 12 gauge if you are running longer distances. I used the 12 on a 100ft. run

No its not. The casing is really thick but even it is not full 0 gauge. Its decent wire though. So far so good

I'm not sure which wire but I do know that the system is junk and for me it was a big waste of time and money. Good luck with your.

Hi, We used 16 gauge wire. It works fine for us. Not sure that's the proper gauge but that's what we've used on all our fence chargers.

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

No. I believe the wires were about 100ft? Youll probably want to get some extra.

The 12 gauge wire is really thick. It is about the thickness of a rubber hair tie. I think you need like 18 gauge or smaller. Wire is smaller as the gauge gets higher.

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.

We bought 6 of these and needed longer leads on 2 of them. So I cut and spliced 8' of wire on 2 of them making the leads 10' long on each. We tested the temps against the factor 4- and all 6 units were all winthin a 00.4 degree range. ( the spliced being .4 lower than the highest factory wire) It worked very good to splice them. It is important that the splices are soldered, not twisted or butt spliced

Bare wire is perfect. Just strip it no more than 1/4" and try not to use more than 16 gauge wires.

i am not sure waht guage standard Landdscape Wire is but it works well with that wire.

I apologize for the late response but i have been very busy. i bought 14" gauge wire for my system. i really don't believe the brand matters. i would also recommend banana clips but they are also not necessary. when i get the chance i will try to include a link to the ones i bought.let me know if this helpsDex

I'm guessing, but it is probably 22 AWG (seems smaller than 20). The butt splices (crimps) with the red color are good for 18 - 22 AWG, and can accommodate smaller than 22 if needed. The splices are Amp 8-55824-2 or the equivalent. I used these: http://www.te.com/catalog/pn/en/8-55824-2?RQPN=8-55824-2. Happy wiring! I've read reviews & comments suggesting twisting the wires and wrapping with electrical tape, and I can tell you that you don't want to go there unless you want to re-wire it at some point in the near future.

The simple answer is that it depends on the length. The longer the run, the larger wire should be used. If it is a few feet, there will likely be no discernible difference. It it is 100' probably the reading would be lower due to the voltage drop.

Looks like the 500 foot roll that comes withthe standard system. Splicing is not a problem when done correctly. Electrical elder and good shrink tube will seal the connection.
