See? Pis are educational...I didn't even know what that was till now haha. The cable says 33AWG anyway, is it good enough or do I need a thicker one?What is the American Wire Gauge (AWG) of the actual conductors in your wires? So of that diameter will be insulation...but you probably don't know how much...
Ooooh ok! I don't think that's gonna be an issue. I'm using 1.25mm (in diameter) cables so I think those are enough,
33ga is pretty thin. If it's really 22ga, that is *probably* good enough, especially in the wires are fairly short. The official RPL PSUs use 18ga. wires. Commercial USB cables typically 24ga. to 28ga., depending on the cable. (And--just to complete the point--lower numbers are thicker wires. I once had to--briefly--deal with some 0000ga--usually expressed as 4/0ga--stranded cables. Those are around 3/4" thick.)
