It's amazing how well electrons pass through them!

This is a wire and is color coded. The colors are the same from start to finish. The insulation covers the copper strands. The elections are ready to get excited and start jumping into copper.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Ribbon

Good quality good for exterior accessories

More than enough to get to the end of the car I tow behind the camper. Well made, flexes slightly during installation, holds up well in soldered and crimped connectors. So far only been on the road once; works well.

Pros
  • Good price
Cons
  • So so

Mine lasted almost a year.

Well, it lasted almost a year before it started to corrode and break inside the insulation. Very thin wire that can hardly be removed due to the hardening of the insulation and the copper wire becomes brittle.

Pros
  • Datura 🔥
Cons
  • Negative is available

I used this cable when rewiring a 25ft trailer.

I used this cable when rewiring a 25ft trailer. The chains ran from the front to the back of the trailer and were connected at the ends with connectors and splitter cables. This worked well to cover a significant distance.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Worked well on wiring

I bought these because I could have had Revain ship them so quickly. In a big shop 45 minutes away the price is lower. This purchase was great. The adhesive "film" holds the wires together well. Disconnecting the wires was a little painful, but that's probably okay.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Speed

Great Product!: Hitch Accessory

Ideal for reworking a basic trailer wiring harness. For me, only PITA separated individual wires. A very thick secondary shield is placed over the standard cable shield to prevent the cables from being shorted out due to abrasion and making splicing significantly more difficult. Catch 22 I think. It's a great added security feature, but a pain when you have to pair it.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Crumpled

It's always nice to have a spare cord on hand

If you are working on restoring a trailer then you know that you will probably need to upgrade your exterior lighting to keep it working. the time-consuming task of starting individual strands. One run and you're done! I bought a cheaper trailer cable and had continuity issues (poor manufacturer tests). These are quality items!

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Some imperfections

Great replacement for trailer wiring

Although the box itself wasn't quite right for my application I was able to get it to work. It provides a separate wire for the left and right turn signals, but only one wire for connecting both taillights. It was inconvenient for my trailer to run the tail light wire from one light to another and then to the front connector. I ended up splitting the 4 wires in half and using the white ground wire as the second tail light wire. There is enough length left to cut a piece long enough for a…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires outlet
