This is a 18-gauge wire in the twisted pair style where each conductor is covered in Black rayon braid.

This wire is suitable for table-top, floor, and pendant use and is suited to many applications. However, due to its smaller gauge, this wire should only be used in situations where you have a low electrical draw and where the wire needs to go through small apertures or chandelier arms.

Please do not select this wire based on the diameter alone unless you are completely sure that this small gauge will support your electrical requirements.

You should consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the gauge of the wire you select can safely support the electrical load of your lamp or small appliance over the length of wire you are using.
