10 Gauge Silicone Electric Wire, EvZ 33ft 10AWG Flexible 2 Conductor Parallel Cable, 2pin Red Black, High Temperature Resistant, Single Color LED Strip Extension

I'm been in to electronics repair and R/C vehicles for several years so I'm used to extremely flexible, high temperature silicone jacketed wire. I've been building a lot of equipment test leads and Arduino projects lately and was happy to find this twin lead flexible silicone wire. It is perfect for several of my applications in that the two conductors obviously remain parallel to one another, the wire is very flexible, the fine strands take solder easily, and the insulation doesn't melt or shrink when heated. The two conductors are easily separated from each other though so I've gotten in the habit of using a small length of shrink sleeving over the wire to prevent the leads from splitting beyond the point I intended for. I don't think this will be my last order of this wire!

Before I ordered this I read reviews for this and similar products. The only negative I read was that it was hard to "unzip" and the insulation would tear exposing bare wire, hence I was expecting a wire that's hard to work with. NOT SO. This wire separated easily (almost too easy) and is of high quality. It is a bit pricey but you do get what you pay for. With 100+ strands and silicon insulation it will be pliable at almost any temp. While this seems to be made for LED lighting, it is a superior product for the amateur radio hobby. I did note that it does not strip easily with any of the Self-Adjusting Wire Strippers (silicone insulation is too slippery), but the cheap multi function stripper / crimper works well. Just use care that you don't cut away any of the finer-than-hair strands.

The insulation on this wire is rated for 200C. I set my soldering iron to 250C and pressed on it for 30 seconds and it held up fine with no melting at all. As advertised, it is quite flexible. It takes solder well. For the price, it's a good deal. I'm giving four stars instead of five for two reasons:1. It did not come on a spool nor was it even very neatly packaged. I had to untangle it a bit and spool it myself.2. It has a rather strong chemical odor. I expect (and hope) this will dissipate with time, It's just wire, so not a real big deal, but it's a bit unpleasant (to me.)

My first task with this wire was to make some car battery charger cables. I didn't really need the full spec of this wire, but I mostly wanted some really flexible wire because connecting a charger to a car battery is hard enough already. This is really finely stranded wire, and the silicone insulation both make it super-flexible. It may see incidental contact with engine parts, etc., so the temp rating (200 C) may be useful. I was soldering this to copper-coated steel clips, so I was really doggin' the heat to it to get a good joint, and the insulation which was butted to the terminals didn't shrink back or burn at all. So this is a really nice, super-flexible, heat-resistant cable for a great price. The two conductors separate really easily, so you'll want to put something for a stopper to keep it from "unzipping." I'm going to put a silicone blob where the wires split. It ships coiled in a bag, not on a roll, but it was well packaged and shipped quickly.

I'm an electrical engineer whose worked with a lot of different wire, but I hadn't bought "bendable silicone wire" before. I've only worked with it a few times, but it seems like good stuff to me. Very thin strands that should allow it to flex many times w/o breaking. It's a lot better than the typical wire I buy that doesn't flex easily.

Electrons flow must wonderfully in the metallic section of this material. Both on the red side and the black side. Each in their own particular direction, circuits being as they are - circular! The only way to improve the flow would be immersion in liquid Hydrogen. The outer layer may then become more fragile. Bravo!

This wire is high quality and very flexible. I built a 2nd 3D printer and used this wire for the higher amperage heater circuits and it was perfect for this. I would recommend this wire to anyone needing a heavy duty but inflexible wire. Note that I am referring too a lower voltage application. I did use a short piece if this (plus a ground wire) to connect the lower supply to the AC switch as 14 gauge is what was used in the power cable and most extension cables but I didn't think it would be appropriate for lamp cords etc. as the silicone insulation is a bit soft for exposed household applications, but it wasn't designed for that.

The price is great and the product quality is quite good but it is extremely challenging to separate or isolate one wire from this pair. The silicone will tear pretty easily if you attempt to separate the wires. It takes a little extra time to use a scalpel to separate but that is not a deal breaker for me, the wire is great and its a lot less expensive than other comparable products. Thanks!

Comes as a clump, so don’t expect a nice roll. Otherwise exactly as described
