Wire Gauge Table
Most of the wire and cable made in the U.S. use the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system. In the rest of the world conductors are measured in square millimeters. The use of a geometric size progression makes for an easy transition between sizes based on current carrying capabilities. Our industry uses the “even” sizes most often, i.e. 26, 28, 30.
