True American Wire Gauge (AWG) Products
- Using American Wire Gauge standards, the gauge of stranded wire is determined by the total area of the conductor.
- To calculate this you would take the area of each strand and add it together. This area, in square mm, then determines gauge.
- Diameter is not as critical with stranded wire, this is due to the tiny air gaps between each strand. Diameter may fluctuate with strand size and how tightly wound the rope of the cable is.
- The smaller the number, the larger the wire, until you reach zero or aught (0). From zero, you then have double aught (00 or 2/0), three aught (000 or 3/0) ...
- Based on AWG, the true gauge of this cable is 1/0
TRUE-SPEC Tinned Copper - What the Pros Recommend
- When bare copper is exposed to oxygen, it oxidizes over time (turns brown/green).
- These contaminants are damaging to the cable's ability to conduct electricity.
- Tin provides a protective barrier from oxygen to the bare copper underneath.
- By adding a thin layer of tin to each strand, the cable is no longer able to oxidize.
- Tin does not react with oxygen and therefore the cable will never change color or have any change in its ability to conduct electricity.
Product FAQ
Can this power wire be used as ground wire too?
- Yes, there is no physical difference between power or ground cable. We do recommend using two different color wires to differentiate between positive and negative connections though.
Why is this copper wire silver in color?
- This Stinger cable is TRUE-SPEC tinned Oxygen-free Copper. The TRUE-SPEC tin provides a protective barrier from oxygen to the bare copper underneath. By coating the copper strands in tin, your cable will never oxidize or tarnish. Meaning your cable will last longer than your vehicle.
Is this 0 Gauge or 1/0 Gauge Wire?
- On the American Wire Gauge scale, 0 and 1/0 are equal. A 1/0 (one aught) cable literally means "one zero" or "0". The next larger size cable is 2/0 (two aught) "00" which is also called double aught. This continues to 3/0, 4/0 and so on. Going smaller in size from 0 you would then have 1, 2, 4 gauge etc...
