AWG specification conversion table, AWG (American wire gauge) American wire gauge, is a standard to distinguish the diameter of the wire, also known as Brown & Sharpe wire gauge. This standardized wire gauge system has been used in the United States since 1857.
The value in front of AWG (such as 24AWG, 26AWG) indicates the number of holes that the wire will pass before the final diameter is formed. The larger the value, the higher the level of the wire through the hole, and the smaller the wire diameter. Thick wire has better physical strength and lower resistance, but the thicker the wire, the more copper is needed to make the cable, which causes the cable to be heavier, more difficult to install, and more expensive. The challenge in cable design is to use wires with the smallest diameter possible (reducing cost and installation complexity) while at the same time ensuring that the wire maximum capacity is achieved at the necessary voltage and frequency.
