| noobofthecentury:
yeah I suggest get it here http://www.allelectronics.com/matrix/Hook_Up_100.html MUCH MUCH cheaper. 100 feet only 6 dollars |
| Ginsu Victim:
I used the 22 gauge from Radio Shack and it's been great for all my wiring needs. From wiring the CP to lighting the coin rejects, it's worked fine. |
| Wade:
Most important thing for low power use like a control panel is for the wire to be stranded, not solid. Solid wire breaks easily and also isn't meant for crimping and doesn't hold crimps very well. Most common mistake I see on this forum, I think. Wade |

Ah, the solid/stranded debate is still alive ;D I specifically chose solid because it holds its form better. I have no issues crimping it, and have not had a piece break yet. But, to each their own. |
