Which is better 23AWG vs 24AWG?
23AWG is recommended for PowerOverEthernet. American Wire Gauge uses smaller numbers to indicate a longer diameter. The larger the diameter, the less resistance in the wire as there is more space for electrons to fit. So, in respect to PoE, 23AWG is thicker than 24AWG, so therefore better for electron flow.
What is the largest wire size?
7/0, the largest size, is 0.50 inches (500 mils or 12.7 mm) in diameter (250 000 circular mils in cross-sectional area), and the smallest, No. 50, is 0.001 inches (1 mil or 25.4 μm) in diameter (1 circular mil [cross-sectional area] or 0.7854 millionths of a square inch).
What does AWG mean in electrical?
American wire gauges
American wire gauges (AWG) are a standard set of sizes for wire conductors — the smaller the wire gauge, the larger the diameter in inches or millimeters, and vice versa.

What does AWG mean in wires?
Is 4 gauge or 6 gauge wire bigger?
The larger the AWG number or wire guage, the smaller the physical size of the wire. The smallest AWG size is 40 and the largest is 0000 (4/0). AWG general rules of thumb – for every 6 gauge decrease, the wire diameter doubles and for every 3 gauge decrease, the cross sectional area doubles.
What is bigger 2 0 or 2 AWG?
2 AWG will handle around 94 Amps, while 2/0 AWG will handle around 190 Amps. The length of the wire must be considered as well as the \% voltage drop in order for this to be true. For a 3\% drop where the load is less than 20 feet from the battery and you are drawing 100 Amps, you would need 2/0.
What happens if you use too small gauge wire?
Too-Small Wire Can Get Hot Your circuit breaker should trip and stop the flow of electricity through the circuit. The breaker disrupts electrical flow to protect the affected wire.
