American Wire Gauge (English is American wire gauge, abbreviated as the AWG), is a way to distinguish between the wire diameter of standards, also known as Brown & Sharpe wire gauge. This standardized wire gauge system in the United States in 1857 started using the steel industry to use a different gauge, so the following does not apply to the wire.
The diameter of the wire and the wire carrying the current ability to have a great relationship. The smaller the AWG figures, the thicker wire diameter and can carry current; the contrary, the gauge the larger the number, the finer wire diameter, can carry less current.
AWG table applies to single, solid, round conductor. Twisted pair of AWG value determined by the total cross-sectional area of all wires, there is always some gap and because of the twisted pair between the diameter of the same twisted pair of AWG value is always slightly larger than the diameter of single wire.
AWG value should be marked as a basic value in the data online. For example, the network use the five categories of unshielded twisted pair general use of the AWG 24 wire, SATA cable AWG 26 wire. |
