The Wires Zone 18 Gauge AWG 500' Feet ft Stranded Primary Remote Wire Cable (Black)

Did not realize it was just copper clad when I purchased. Didnt realize this untill it was too late to return. My fault. I got the yellow in color and it does fade quickly in sunlight. It will bend easily around corners and was a good value even though it was just clad.the large plastic roll makes it easy to unroll without tangling. Seller had a nice selecton of colors. The roll makes it easy to use. Wire is the perfect size and thickness to make radio antenna radials.

Excellent Quality and Durability! I’ve bought similar 18-gauge wire rolls in the past from different manufacturers, but this one really stands out. The outer core is much thicker and more durable, which gives it a higher quality feel overall. I was really impressed with the difference. It’s been perfect for the projects I’m working on, and I’ll definitely buy again. Great value for the price!

This is good quality stranded 18 AWG cable. I couldn't find any comparable cable in Amazon Europe sites or other suppliers - hence the shipment from the US and Amazon.com. The shipment, customs etc. was hassle free and the cable arrived in good time - Amazon & the supplier took care of everything, thanks to Amazon and the Supplier's teams. We are using this cable for a fence run to keep our two black Labradors safe. It's great having the 500 feet role and this means we have no joint/failure points and it's a good size area to give our dogs lots of freedom.

I used a length of 155' of this 18ga wire ran out from end to end, supported in the center with an insulator at 40' above ground while each end is at 12' above ground. One end of the wire is connected to a 9:1 cube unun, the other end is anchored off to an insulator and tied off with all weather/uv protected rope. It's an end fed multiband wire antenna that covers 160-10m with my remote tuner. The wire is easy to work with and so far has been able to handle high winds.

Currently using this for a loop-on-ground and a whole bunch of ground radials. The wire was outside for a winter and is still in good condition.

I installed this wire as a boundary wire in my yard. Installation was a real pain as the spools were cheaply constructed and started falling apart when trying to unspool the wire. After about a month after the install I started having several breaks in the wire. I have consistently had places where the wire corroded, or stretched and snapped. since then. I am now several months in and I have no choice but to rip it all out and start again with a better quality wire. Don't waste your time and get a better wire that has a thicker insulation and a more weather resistant core.

The wire breaks easily

I'm in the wire business. This wire has no markings or any labeling on the reel whatsoever. It would never be sold by any electrical distributor in the US and may even be illegal to sell. It can't be used in a UL application. That being said looking at it it would be rated as #18AWG MTW. The color is nice and bright too which is a plus. Just run it through a printer guys unless there is an issue why you cant. You people saying it's bad because it won't stand up to the outdoors for a perimeter, your right but it's not the manufacturers fault. MTW is PVC jacketed only. What you want is THHN which has a nylon jacket over the PVC which would help a lot with weather and would be fire rated to use indoors which this is not. Again, no ratings. Perfect for control panels though and I would buy it again.

Very good, well made cable.
