Cable Sizing & AWG

Understanding Cable Sizing & AWG

American Wire Gauge (AWG) is the standard system for measuring the diameter of electrical wires. Understanding the AWG scale is crucial for selecting the correct cable to ensure signal integrity and safety. A key principle of AWG is its inverse nature: the larger the gauge number, the smaller the wire's diameter.

This section provides a detailed overview of the AWG standard, along with reference tables and calculators to help you find the correct wire gauge for your application.
