This 22 AWG (gauge) silicone insulated wire is excellent for indoor or protected environments where high flexibility/lack of stiffness, and non-melting (or at least melt resistant) insulation is required. The conductors are a 'high strand count" type, meaning that instead of being comprised of just a few larger/thicker strands, it is instead comprised of a much greater number of smaller/thinner strands; and this contributes to its lack of stiffness/great flexibility. The other contributing factor to the high flexibility is that the insulation is silicone rubber, rather than the more common PVC (which is rather stiff). This kind of high strand count, silicone rubber insulated wire is exactly what high quality test equipment 'test leads' have been made of for decades. The silicone rubber is also much less heat sensitive than more common insulations such as PVC or "machine tool wire". It won't melt off as readily as PVC insulation does if your soldering iron needs to be held onto a joint or terminal for an extended period of time. The fine wire strands are also nicely tinned, and the insulation strips off easily and cleanly, and the stranded wire solders easily. It is a good quality product at an affordable price. HOWEVER, it is not the best choice for many common "hook up wire" applications, since its lack of stiffness can be an issue; the strands definitely need to be twisted and soldered in order to keep their shape enough to be formed into a hook before soldering around a terminal for example. This wire also does not want to cooperate if you want to twist a few of them together, because their limpness makes them uncooperative in that regard. And if you use this wire in "hook up wire" applications, it wants to just flop into some odd position rather than 'staying put' where you want it to be. Silicone rubber insulation is also not that great when it comes to abrasion resistance, and resistance to some kinds of oils and such where other insulations may be preferable.

I love using this wire for my End Fed Half Wave Antenna. The wire is so easy to wind up/ unwind without kinking. Highly recommend this for portable antenna wires.

Good quality wire. Much better than typical PVC wire. It strips very easily and cleanly and because the insulation is silicone rubber, it doesn’t melt when soldering or deform when using heat-shrink. Very flexible and easy to work with. I use it for wiring the electronics when building or modifying electric guitars and use four different colors – black for ground, white for hot, and gray and red for jumpers. Very happy with this wire. Tiny zip-ties help to keep the wires organized and where you want them.

The spool label is marked as 22 AWG. The wire is unmarked.

I just needed some lightweight antenna wire that can handle a couple of amps at low voltage.. this works.

Very high quality wire. Available in several colors and gauges.

Using this to build a 2M cubic quad antenna (KK6USY) details on YT channel. The wire is easy to work with and it conforms to the corners well. Perfect choice of wire for this. Lots left over for additional elements if I increase the beam length. I'm sure I will use it for other wiring projects. Solders very well. Very respectable brand.

This stuff is 24 gauge I got. It's got a more rubbery exterior green sheath that firm plastic. There are nice silver in color wires on the inside, that are very fine and soft and easy to twist and tie in to other wires. The sheath is so soft that you can use a thumbnail and fingertip to strip it. That way any of the thin silver wires will be damaged with cutters or metal strippers. Nice wire, holding up nice so far and was easy to work with!

One never knows what quality a product will be until received and used.I was happily surprised at the quality of this wire.At first, I was a little surprised at how physically small the spools are, since all my other spools are literally 3 times larger.So, I measured the wire ton confirm that the spools actually hole 25 feet. THEY DO!I really like the feel and flexibility of this silicone sheath. It's nice to work with and removing silicone to bare the wires was really easy and didn't take any strands with it.About the strands, it turns out, there really are 60 strands!I like this wire so much that I just ordered 2 more kits of 7 colors, 25' (so 7 colors, 50')I do recommend this wire.

Used this in a big project, replicating an aircraft Dash for Flight Simulator. Awesome wire, solders easily.
