Best place to purchase wire?

<< < (2/5) > >>

GadgetGeek:
if you need disconnects too, I would suggest using Peale.

Lilwolf:
Bob Roberts (the real one) has colored wire pretty cheap (not super but color coded).  The big thing is he sells 10 colors 10ft each for a few bucks more.  Great for simplifying wiring

then I bought some wire for barying for an electric invisible dog fense.  Does GREAT, all red, bends well, and crimps GREAT... and super cheap.  Bought 1000ft...

I bought a few meters of signal cable with 36 (22 guage) strands. Each strands has a unique color. I understand not everybody likes different colors, but I kinda do and this was the easiest way to get many colors. Cost me 12 euro for 10 feet of cable (=360 feet wire)

Apart from that also I bought the whole wiring set from Ultimarc (10 colors wire 2 meters long, crimp tool, disconnects)

i just bought a couple big spools from meijer...prlly paid too much for em.

Lilwolf:
btw, I would highly recommend NOT using solid core wire... Get stranded.  They bend easier and crimp to disconnects MUCH better... (ended up rewiring my entire cab because everytime I moved anything I would loose a connection).

solid core is nice for hacking some game pads... since you can poke them through when appropriate.
