FAQ
Product FAQ:
Q: What is the length of the GS Power 16 Gauge Wire?
A: The wire length is 100 feet.
Q: Is the wire made of pure copper?
A: Yes, the wire is made of 99.99% oxygen-free copper (OFC) which makes it resistant to erosion.
Q: What is the stranding of the wire?
A: The wire has 2 conductors with 27 strands per conductor.
Q: Is the wire insulation oil and gas resistant?
A: Yes, the automotive-grade PVC insulation is resistant to oil and gas.
Q: What are the applications for this wire?
A: This wire is perfect for audio, automotive, robotic, R/C applications, trailer, stereo, and home theater applications.
Q: Is this wire suitable for a 100w 2 channels boss amp?
A: Yes, it should work just fine unless the run is unusually long. It has a resistance of about 4 ohms per 1000 feet.
Q: Is this wire RoHS compliant?
A: It's listed as "pure copper," but in the description, it's listed as 99.99% copper. It's that .01% that might make it nonRoHS compliant. This question is probably best answered by the seller.
Q: Can this be used for 12-volt lawn mower lights?
A: This is pure copper wire so it does resist corrosion unlike copper-clad aluminum wire which cannot be exposed to moisture at all. However, if you are going to leave the lawn mower outside, we suggest using outdoor wire that has tinned copper.
Q: Can I use this on 110VAC?
A: No! This is for 12-volt automotive type applications only. The insulation is not rated for 120 volts AC. Using it for that would be highly unsafe.
