Here is the ampacity (maximum amount of current) that each size of this silicon wire can handle. Keep in mind that this is just a rule of thumb as ambient temperature and air flow will make a difference.

8AWG 200 amps
10AWG 140 amps
12AWG 90 amps
14AWG 60 amps
16AWG 35 amps
18AWG 20 amps
20AWG 12 amps
22AWG 10 amps

Hi, this size of wire will fit perfectly on a XT60 plug?
 Tanmay 8 points
Yes fits perfectly
 Ben 113 points
buy some 4mm shrink tube while your ordering or 5mm
 Karl Heinz 55 points
these cables fit in every plug.....i guess ^^
 PPact 50 points
If not make em fit.

What is the differance between this wire and all the others?
 Wout.S 341 points
I don't know what other wires you refer to, but this wire has silicone insulation. Silicone makes it much more flexible than wires with pvc insulation.
 Joel 98 points
the number before AWG is the gauge/size of the wire.. the lower the number the thicker the wire.
 Ben 113 points
awg refers to gauge of wire wich allows more amps through it the lower the awg is silicone wraps is more flexable as stated above but is also heat resistant to 200 degrees apposed to the 80 degrees of normal wires

Yes indeed, in my country it is quite expensive. Don't forget to order the shrink when you buy this.

what does AWG means ?
 Arxangel 983 points
It means American Wire Gauge.
 Wout.S 341 points
American Wire Gauge. It is an indication for the thickness of a wire. If you google "AWG table" you'll find diameters and max amp ratings.

what the f hk one meter only how rude sell 25 or 30 foot lenghts
 Senator315 607 points
They do, you just order what you want and it will come in that length.
 QuadSB 441 points
That's right, if you want about 30ft, then order 10m. Well 30ft is a shade over 9m, but anyway... Hope this helps!
 Molak 87 points
The wire is cut to your desired length... Just order !!

really need it arrives soon because I have many Lipo batteries and motors to fix.http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/images/

 Napstr 707 points
Yeah very similar story a cross the entire product range here - great products at great prices but stock levels and arrival times appear to be a random number at times. In stock at present though so get it while you can
Ingloglo  1 points - 3/21/2012
 
100 good!!!
 Napstr 707 points
Yes this is very good wire for 50 or so amps - always remember to keep wires as short as possible to avoid voltage drop
 Frank 5 points
Great wire! Extremely flexible and low resistance. Very nice jacketing.
 Alexey 6 points
Yes, it's very soft and good cable, the best!
 Philip 5 points
Use this aswell, verry good stuff
 RoldanCortez 2 points
very good wire using it for and e-buggy with 4s lipo.. never get hot very thick straded copper core. highly recommended. plus since its 14awg its very easy to work with.
 Felipe 1 points
un cable muy bueno y muy flexible.
 gromuluss 225 points
50 amps? That's all? That's pathetic. Why even bother adapt it then? 5.5 bullets are capable of triple that or more. Deans T connectors can take 90 no problem at all I guess the week link is the small gauge wire. Bad mistake then Need 90 amp or better wires. Look for " hangar 9 89" beast on 14s " ( my plane ) to prove that.

Will it burn with 80 to 120 amps ?
thx
 ihrstad 12 points
Not a chance! It will hold temperatures up to 200 degrees celcius.
 Taparou 38 points
Yes but Will it be warm after power my quadcopter with 120A ?
 ihrstad 12 points
I think it will depend on the lenght of the cable... I use 14 awg on my car witch runs on about 160 amps, they don't get hot at all.. But I'm no expert *)
BEST ANSWER CREDIT AWARDED
 Taparou 38 points
Not more 30cm
 EDF_Freak 294 points
It won't burn but it will be hot and this is not good as you loose some power due to heat. For application that demands over 100A of current you should use 10 AWG cable instead. Rule of thumb: use the cable at least as thick as the cable used in your ESC
 Taparou 38 points
Yes bit it's more difficult that you think because I have turnigy sentry 40A and it has 14 AWG. But I will build a quadcopter and there are 4 of these ESC, so the power can climb at 120A but not more 40A out of each ESC.
 Tim 20 points
I wouldn't use it for prolonged periods of time. It has a current rating for a reason. If you run 80 to 120 amps through it, your voltage will drop, resistance will increase and the performance of your model will suffer. I would suggest 12AWG at least.
 Taparou 38 points
80 amps. Is it suitable ?
Taparou  38 points - 9/14/2011
 
I will buy an iron to weld my Lipos, wires (14AWG), connectors, etc... Good value and cheap (~55$). JBC or Weller, isn't it ?
Soldering Station or just the weld are enough for this kind of use.
 Se7en24 10 points
You don't need a soldering station for your soldering iron but it is handy to have one.
 Taparou 38 points
An iron Weller SP 80 (80Watts), is it good to solder this kind of wire, or HTX 4mm connector, etc... ?
 lt188 19 points
a standard 30watt soldering iron will do the job for you....
BEST ANSWER CREDIT AWARDED
 Taparou 38 points
Yes, but a Weller SP 80 is cheap. Is it to powerful ?
 donald 1 points
any weller soldering gun our iron will work
 Jason 10 points
80W will be good, 30W will do the job but they take too long to heat up and dont have the power to do thicker wires. Also use flux when you solder for a stronger bond
 Tim 20 points
Any soldering iron will solder this wire. It may take a little longer but will still do the job. Make sure the iron has fully warmed up before you start and use the flux in the solder to wick the heat into the wire for soldering.
 SHAWN 3 points
i use my 10 yr old Weller 30 watt it works fine i pre-solder the leads on the cells so i don't over heat them when hooking up heavy wire to them i also split the heavy wire and solder to both sides of the tab for a stronger connection.
Sloperdude  1317 points - 11/9/2009
 
Yes, it's great wire, and as so many have mentioned, it's perfect for extending the ESC wires, and yes, it solders nicely, and OK, it's cheap! (Do you get the feeling that some guys just want to get their points?) My question is, how many Amps is it good for, given it's one meter length? I'm looking to use this to extend a charging cord a safe distance from my charger, and so I have enough length to use a LiPo bunker.
 Instigator 15 points
You sir are correct!!! lol
 Richard 5 points
At 1 meter it should be good for 30A at 12 V See ***********windsun****/Hardware/Wire_Table.htm
 eugenioca 11 points
Hello. I used this wire to make an extension for the lipo battery to the ESC, around 130 centimeters (51 inches) and dont feel the heat on it. Must works around 110-130 Amps when run at 75%. With a 120 Amp ESC and ZIPPY Flightmax 5000mAh 6S1P 25C. bye
 eugenioca 11 points
Hello. I made an extension and use 1,56 meters of wire and no problem. Often to run at 125-130 amp the motor. bye
 Kjetil 10 points
is you gonna use theese lengts for charging. This cable will handle pretty mutch any charging you want.... and that should be in allot longer than 1m and more as charging isnt any high load on the cable. So you can safely make a 1m charge lead from this one.

3 thumbs up!
Bought 2 units of this wire, came as 1.98m.
Wanted to see if it was delivered as one continues wire, it was, but 2cm short.
