Better control panel wiring - Solid or Stranded?
Lilwolf:
I did solid to start off with (some cat5 cables).
but I had to rewire completely because the connections broke all the time. Any time you touched anything they would break.
Basically they are harder to bend... So when you move something, the stress goes to the end.
Stranded
Shape D.:
solid also has a tendency to break when you move it around. and stranded is eisier to work with. especially if your only using crimp connectors. and you can crimp something on to a solid core wire It just takes one hell of an effort to do so.
