Review on πŸ”Œ Metra MC918-20 20ft 9-Conductor 18 AWG Twisted Multi-Purpose Cable by Justin Dorsett

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's only 22 AWG.

This is NOT 18 AWG. It's not even 20 AWG. It's only 22 AWG. The wire is printed at 18 AWG, but it's only 22. It's 100% copper. The outer insulation is good and flexible. It cuts and comes out easily. Individual insulation is the same, no stripping problems. All cables appear to be of good quality. I haven't checked the length yet as I will most likely be returning it. I forgot to explain the photos. The wires on the left are the wires of the cables. The ones on the right are from the two-pair red and black wires. They are 18AWG. The red Feral crimp connector is for 18 AWG. Wild white for 22 AWG. If it were actually 18 AWG, then Feral would never fit. Get a replacement cable for the same seller and product page in a few hours. I seriously doubt it was just a fluke and the replacement would be a true 18 AWG, but here's for wishful thinking. LOL The manufacturer of the cable is called InstallBay.
