8 Gauge Copper Wire, 20FT Red+20FT Black 8 Gauge Automotive Wire for Marine, Solar

I have to say that I am impressed with how flexible this is for 8 gauge wire. It is a very fine strand making it easy to work with. It is Oxygen Free Copper wire, not Coper Clad Aluminum. So it will do well carrying a lot of current. I like this and will be purchasing more in even larger gauges for a project I will be starting soon. I will say that the insulation seems a little softer/easier to cut than I would like. Not that it is a problem unless it is routed near sharp edges. If I can not prevent that from happening, I will need to route it inside of flexible conduit. But, I am very pleased with this wire, and recommend it if you are in need of similar.

I like this wire for the following features: highly flexible, thick PVC insulation for abrasion resistance and easy installation; high strand count conductors for better flexibility, again for ease of installation and also for maximum contact area when crimped or installed in clamp-down terminals, for high current applications; pure copper for maximum conductivity. The only feature lacking is tinning of the conductors. Because of this, I would not use it for marine, especially salt water applications. Other positive qualities: UL listing (it has the backwards R superimposed with U symbol), weather resistance (although PVC is not what is recommended for solar panel applications); flammability rating. Excellent wire for high-current automotive and other applications, recommended.

This 8 gauge wire, is exactly as shown in the listing. The wire is fine, without being so fine that the strands are randomly breaking off. When I first opened the bag, I was greeted by a strong chemical smell, but after I let the wire air out, it's greatly reduced. I don't expect the smell to be an issue with most people, but it may bother some people who are overly sensitive to smells like this. I'm sure that is due to the chemicals used to make it suitable for marine use, and it feels like it would handle a marine environment well. I got this wire, to power my radio gear. This will probably end up being used on an amplifier I'm working on.

This is 20 foot of red and black 8 AWG wire suitable for solar or other higher current uses. This is very flexable and the quality appears to be good. This is labeled on the wire itself ZHONGLI SCI-TECH GROUP 8 AWM STYLE 1026 E156525A 8AWG 1000V 105C VW1. Hope that info answers any questions. The advertisement states oxygen free . This is a very nice wire for your next project and I feel that I can recommend it.

Using these for running power to a distribution block in my truck bed. I have a decent amount of things I plug in and this thick gauge wire is the key to getting those amps where they’re needed. If you want the best quality cord out there, pure copper cable is the way to go. This is a very good alternative to the expensive pure copper though. In the right application, this is just as good. No complaints!

These 8 awg cables seem to be of good quality. The coating isn’t so thick that it’s hard to cut through and easy to crimp. It’s flexible and seems like the coating seems like it’ll do well in the rain. The bare copper wires are fine but not so thin so break off as easily as some. These are just what I needed.

This wire worked great on my solar install, I used this for the battery run to the fuse box. With 8 AWG wire gage, I have very little power loss, It was easy to work with, It has some flex to it making it easy to get around corners, but stiff enough that I could push it through some of the gaps in the cupboards. Nice thick strands of copper with thick insulation.

These pair of highly flexible high quality 8 Gauge stranded wire in both Red and Black insulated outer jackets are ideal for many uses from the vehicle, tractor, boat, ATV to solar equipment installations. AWESOME!!! Also is UL Certified RoHL compliant flame retardant grade: VW-1.
