AWG Conductor Chart
COPPER CONDUCTOR DATA
The conductors used by General Cable meet the applicable requirements of ASTM specifications B-3, B-33, B-172, B-173, B-174 and B-286 and
Federal Specification QQ-W-343.
The following data covers the more commonly used conductor constructions in the electrical and electronics industry. Special constructions, not
shown, are available or can be designed to meet specific requirements. It is suggested that the General Cable Product Engineering Department be
contacted before a specification is finalized.
