This 18 gauge 2-conductor electrical wire is designed for durability, flexibility, and stable performance in low-voltage and general electrical projects. Featuring copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors and high-quality PVC insulation, it delivers dependable conductivity while remaining lightweight and easy to work with.
The stranded CCA core is built with 41 fine strands (0.14mm each) per conductor, reducing resistance and improving current flow. Ideal for 12V–24V DC systems, lighting installations, and automotive wiring.
The wire is insulated with premium PVC material offering excellent resistance to:
Moisture and abrasion
Oxidation and chemicals
Heat and flame (V-1 flame retardant rating)
Rated for up to 300V and a wide temperature range from -40°F to 248°F, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
This 18/2 stranded wire is soft, thin, and highly flexible, allowing it to bend easily and fit into tight spaces. It can be stripped, soldered, crimped, cut, or wrapped with ease—perfect for quick and clean installations.
Suitable for:
LED light strips and lamps
Automotive and marine wiring
Low-voltage power connections
Transformers and electronic devices
Residential wiring projects
Outdoor spotlights and extension wiring
Includes 20 heat-shrink tubes to help protect wire connections from abrasion, moisture, and environmental damage—extending the lifespan of your wiring.
