Review on πŸ”Œ GS Power Flexible 10 AWG 50ft Red/Black Bonded Zip Cord Cable: High-Quality Oxygen Free Copper for Car Audio & LED Light Wiring by Dan Toliver

Revainrating 5 out of 5

That's a whopping 50 feet! - In-car audio and video installation

Some sellers advertise 50ft zip cable but really mean 25ft black and 25ft red cable that is merged together. But this wire is HONEST 50 foot 10 gauge, fairly flexible zipper wire. I use it 20ft to make an extension cord between the raw output of my portable solar panels (<26 volts) and the solar regulator (which stabilizes the voltage to 14.4 volts to charge my lithium batteries). While it's true that I could use 12 or 14 gauge wire to handle a small amount of current (less than 10 amps), I'm more concerned about the power loss that a smaller gauge wire would cause. Another 10 minutes or so will power my mobile ham radio straight from the car battery and the rest is NOT wasted.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • There are downsides
