DIAMETERS OF ALL SUNDIAL WIRES
Please check that the diameter of each wire you order will
fit in the aperture for which it is intended.
The measurements in mm are more accurate than the measurements in inches.
Also, please do not choose solely based on what fits. Please make
sure the gauge you choose is appropriate for the electrical
draw of your device or fixture.
Please note that the parallel wire has two dimensions, height and width, since
its shape is rectangular rather than round.
Twisted wire is measured at its widest point.

Overbraid
Sundial Wire's overbraid cord is a cloth-covered
cord with three conductors contained in one cord where the spiral of the twisted
wires gives the cord a wonderful texture.
Overbraid wire is constructed using three stranded copper wires, each
covered in PVC insulation, which are twisted together and braided with a cotton
herringbone weave. Overbraid cord can be used for table-top, floor, or pendant
lighting as well as small appliances.
Please note that any of our three-conductor wires can be used as a two-conductor wire by
clipping the third wire and not using it.
