Technical Specifications & Performance Data for 18 AWG

The 18 AWG wire from Riyadh Cables features a solid core resistance of 18.23 ohms per kilometer at 20°C, ensuring reliable signal transmission in industrial control circuits.

18 AWG vs 20 AWG: What is the Difference?

When choosing between gauges, 18 AWG offers a diameter of approximately 1.02 mm, whereas 20 AWG is significantly thinner at 0.81 mm. This 18 AWG vs 20 AWG comparison shows that 18 AWG carries about twice the current of 20 AWG. For Saudi workshops dealing with high-vibration machinery, the 18 AWG stranded copper design provides necessary flexibility without overheating.

Is 18 AWG Wire Suitable for Outdoor Use in Saudi Arabia?

While the PVC insulation of this 18 AWG wire is rated for 105°C and offers good resistance to oil and gasoline, direct outdoor exposure to extreme Saudi heat (often exceeding 45°C) and UV radiation can degrade the jacket over time. It is best suited for indoor dry locations or protected conduit systems in Jeddah and Riyadh. For true outdoor applications, UV-resistant jackets are recommended.
