GS Power 12 Gauge Wire (12 AWG) - 100 Foot, Pure Copper, Stranded Electrical Wiring for Speaker, Automotive, Trailer, Stereo and Home Theater Applications - Red/Black

This zip-cord has the typical PVC insulation in red/black color but also has an additional clear jacket covering the PVC. That clear jacket (not sure what material it is made out of) is slippery and abrasion resistant. There are pros and cons to that. The obvious advantage is that this cable pulls easy through raceways or conduits and even pulling it around a sharp corner is unlikely to damage the cable. The downside to that extra layer of insulation is that it also resists any attempts to strip the insulation to terminate the zip cord. If you look at some of the negative reviews you will find that people are easily irritated by the difficulties of stripping the insulation from the wires. However Im happy to spend a little extra effort when I have to terminate a new cable knowing that it will resist damage when used in a portable/mobile environment. I did not have any problems separating the red and black wire. I did not attempt to test whether it is truly 12 awg (but it appears to be) nor did I test whether it is pure copper.

Im using these as power wires for an electric fan. They do the job. Flexible, insulation is thick enough but I would keep it away from heat.

This was as I expected. A good product that will serve my needs.

A little stiff, but nice thick wire. Had to strip some to fit the receptacle.

Excellent conductors to link my Onkyo TX RZ50 to my Klipsch RP8000ii towers and Klipsch subs

This is perfect for my HAM radio on my car, when wiring it up. Its exactly what is used for the current radios I have.

Real stranded copper I stead of the cheap tinned copper.

It took almost two months to arrive and was in horrible condition when arrived.

Better than most wire, and would recommend. Except for cost, and wire size. I felt it lacked a bit. That said.. easy to solder and easy to work with.

Great thing to throw in the toolbox and just have if you do car accessories every now and then.
