C-able 100FT 18 AWG Gauge Electrical Wire Hookup Red Black Copper Stranded Auto 2 Wire Low Voltage 12v DC Wire for Single Color LED Strip Extension Cable Cord Spool

Good wire. All copper. I'm on my third roll. Not that cheap aluminum copper clad junk.

Retuned Without A Problem

Used this for connecting 12V LED lights outside my garage. Good thickness for longer runs - works fine.

Others have said that it's not really 18AWG -- more like 20AWG. And frankly, when I first saw it (before stripping the insulation), I thought the same. But once stripped, it looked and felt beefier. I then gently twisted the wires and squeezed it firmly in my micrometer. As the pic shows, it measures 0.0450 inches diameter. According the the American Wire Guage standards (which you can easily find in a Google search), 18AWG is supposed to be 0.0403 inches diameter. So this is thicker than required. (It's actually 17AWG, but nobody uses that.) The insulation is a little on the thin side. As shown in the second photo, the diameter including insulation is 0.0815, meaning the insulation is about 0.018 thick. But it's perfectly adequate if not subjected to rubbing against things, for typical low-voltage in-house applications. It strips easily with standard wire strippers. The wire itself is multi-stranded tinned copper. I bought it to run 12VDC power through my attic to several Bali motorized blinds around the house. They draw an instantaneous 1A motor startup demand, but less than 0.2A continuous, and only for about 30 seconds while the blinds are raising or lowering. This will work perfectly well for that purpose. (For my original set of 8 blinds, I went with considerably more expensive and higher quality 16AWG wire but found it to be overkill.)

Good quality wire and makes it easy to run circuits due to the color coded wire. Great for all automobile applications for all but the highest draw devices. Quick ship and no damage from shipping will definitely buy again.

The wire arrived as schedules, was adequately packaged and was as described on line. I used the wire on my door bell and it worked great. Great price, delivery and product quality.

I used this on 2 low voltage wiring jobs for LED lighting. Nice tinned wire. Check the voltage and amp rating before buying. I have seen people try to use it for a main power cable for some odd cases including a main power run for a 3D printer. Use it for low voltage and current. It is a good main power feed line for LED lighting. The stranded #18 AWG reduces resistance and keeps you under cabinet mounted LEDS at the same brightness level.

Yeah it's okay as wire goes but I found it really hard to strip. The plastic insulation is overly melted into the wires and you end up ripping almost half the conductors with a regular stripping tool. Super tough as wire goes, very durable. Good value.
