This 100-foot spool of black 16 AWG stranded hook-up wire has a copper conductor and black PVC insulation rated at 300 volts, a good bench supply for regular builders and makers. Stranded wire stays flexible and resists breaking under repeated bending and vibration, so it's the better choice for robotics, vehicles, RC models and any wiring that moves. Black is the usual choice for ground and negative (–) connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose solid or stranded wire?
Use solid wire for breadboards and fixed wiring, since it holds its shape. Use stranded wire for connections that flex, move or vibrate.
Will the color match my other spools exactly?
Shades can vary slightly between production runs, so buy all the spools for one project together if an exact match matters.
