Hi,

I need to extend my wires on a Dual zone shock sensor and dual zone Microwave/Radar sensor.

Just wondering what guage and rating of cable I would need?

Many thanks,
Mo

Theres not a great deal of current on those wires 2-3mm is more than enough I think thats 22ga.

I'm ordering from here:

Standard cable:

https://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product.php?product_id=1

Thin wall cable:

https://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product.php?product_id=17

Which would be the most suitable as they refer to number of strands/dia and not guage

Thanks,
