Southwire 55666623 Primary Wire, 16-Gauge Bulk Spool, 100-Feet, Black

Good choice for end fed antenna. Strong but light weight.

Good wire. Insulation resists heat well enough to get a nice hot solder on the wire.

worked fine for my car audio project. now I have plenty of extra primary wire for future electrical projects. would buy again.

Ordered some of this to use for a vehicle kill switch. Amongst the usage I’ve noticed that the rubber/outside is flexible yet sturdy/dense (didn’t pull inner wires with stripping) and the inner wires are nice and thick with no fray or imperfections. Wouldn’t know what else but quality wire for a banger buck.

I think 16 gauge was a good choice for hanging a shortwave antenna. It should take a couple of years of blowing in the wind before it finally breaks.

I don't really know anything about insulation rating or what should be used in various home applications. I was setting up an electric fence to keep my naughty Siberian Husky in the yard. I suppose everything was going fine(I had some reservations as to it being TOO flexible but not really worth taking a star off) until it came time to turn it on and I noticed that it was grounding out by what I can only describe as THROUGH the insulation. I could tell because the fence energizer does short bursts of charge and you can her the 'click' wherever it ultimately grounds out. I'm sure this works fine on lower voltage applications and I am somewhat on the fence about taking 1 star off just because I may not have understood voltage vs. insulation as much as I should have. In any case, I changed the configuration of the fence so that instead of having 1 continuous 2-layer loop, I instead made the bottom layer the ground and the top layer the 'charged' line. It seems to work fine now but just for my own peace of mind, I'm probably going to swap this out with something with more insulation that was meant for higher voltages. Some electrician might be on here going 'pfff thats not even how it works - I could be wrong, I just know that it wasn't working as expected. Maybe someone can better explain. Also I want to point out again that the line is very flimsy and not as rigid as most electrical lines I have used. Be sure to get something to hold it in place if you are not running it through conduit.

good for dipoles antennas low wattage

Light duty but works fine for my project

Perfect wire for an electronics project that required 16AWG wire with a relatively thin diameter. I would definitely purchase this item again

Muy bueno 100% recomendado

Not much to say, its quality cable.

A great value for anyone doing 12 volt wiring!

I gave 4 stars because the way it looks and packed, it looks like someone rolled the wire from a bulk bigger roll or like is used. I hope it is the right length.
