Our 18AWG wire has an outer diameter of just 2.032mm, this allows for a superior electrical connection while still retaining its ability to use in the heatshrink or heatshrinkless style. This keeps the wire thin making it easier to crimp and sleeve!
Our Ratchet Crimper works perfectly with this wire in crimping on the necessary terminals.
This wire’s insulation is made of durable PVC which holds a higher quality than that of silicon insulation. It also allows for better rigidity for your terminals and when training your cables.
We went even further to make sure this wire uses tinned copper to aid with soldering! Since tin is a primary component in solder, this wire makes it easier to use when soldering together those pesky double wires. Tinned copper is also better protected from corrosion than non-tinned copper wire.
We also needed a wire with very faint writing on the insulation and this wire pasts the test. The writing won’t bleed through your sleeve especially our Teleios, and Coreless Paracord sleeving.
Obtain stronger crimps, and more rigidity to your wires making it easier for cable management and wire training.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which gauge wire do/should I need? 16AWG or 18AWG?
A: It depends on your application but either gauge can be used for your: ATX, EPS, PCI-E, SATA, or Molex cables. 16AWG wire holds its shape better than 18AWG wire so it generally is better for forming or shaping your cables around in your case. A downside is that the cables will be harder to bend, so if you are using a smaller form factor case this may not be ideal. 16AWG wire also fills out the sleeve more and gives the cable a more “heavy duty” feel.

This wire fits perfectly with the mainframe customs 16-18AWG ATX terminals. I tried using some 18AWG wire I bought from the hardware store and I couldnt get it to crimp good enough to hold. This wire is my Number 1 choice for making my own cables

Excellent quality and easy to strip. No issues whatsoever! Was also wrapped in a continuous loop, which made getting more wire for each length a very smooth process.

Bought this wire from them and it’s very very good quality wires. I couldn’t find the same or even near as good quality as these from where I am from. Sadly it will be too expensive for me to get more after conversion.

Pros: it works
cost effective
Cons: DO NOT use with light colors as the wire will make em darker.

This is much better wire than you are going to get at your local store and much easier to crimp the terminals on to. I ran out and went to my local auto parts store and Lowes and looked for the same kind but could not find any and ended up buying what they had. Was much harder to crimp the terminals on due to the thickness of the plastic sleeve around the wire.
