| During hardware design and cable selection, we often encounter methods such as 16AWG, 18AWG, 24AWG, 26AWG, etc. that represent the cable diameter. Actually, AWG (American Wire Gauge) is an abbreviation of American Wire Standard, and AWG value is a function of wire thickness (in inches). The following table shows the comparison between AWG and metric and imperial units. Among them, 4/0 represents 0000, 3/0 represents 000, 2/0 represents 00, 1/0 represents 0. For example, a commonly used telephone line diameter is 26 AWG, which is about 0.4 mm. |

The relationship between AWG and inch summarized in the table is as follows： AWG = A lg inch - B A＝-19.93156857，B＝9.73724。 |
