No. The insulation is not rated for household voltage. The wire size determines the max amperage rating, but the insulation material and thickness determines the maximum voltage you can safely use.

It's not only a fire hazard, it could kill you. The risk isn't worth saving 30 bucks.

I got this roll when it was $20ish. A week ago. I can say that the quality is legit. Not some cheap copper later Alu wires. 100% copper with solid insulation

If you forgo the ground wire then yea. But I would strongly not recommend doing that. Extension cords tend to have a lot more protection and sheathing than this wire will & the sheathing probably isn't outdoor rated exactly. Plus this isn't tinned copper so it will corrode more over time unless you seal up the plugs really well.

So possible, yes. Recommended, definitely no. Sounds like a fire hazard.

Quote from liedel :
I got it last time (10 and 12 gauge). Ordered more, this stuff rocks. I realized when I replaced my old shitty 18 gauge speaker wire that it had corroded in places, making this one of the rare times I actually hear a huge difference in sound - especially at higher volumes.

Was it actually 12awg or 16awg?

Quote from icanseeyourepidermis :
This pure copper wiring is fine for low-durability audio applications in dry indoor locations but for the trailer/automotive applications that it's also advertised for you really want tinned copper for improved corrosion resistance. Tinned copper is also easier to solder if that's how you roll.


Not only that but this is PVC coated and can't handle heat as well as proper automotive wire.

Can I make this into an outdoor extension cord by attaching the appropriate plugs on each end?

Just a note, this is 100' of wire and not 100' line. It's actually only 50' long because it's 50' black and 50' red wire.
Very misleading but I ordered this on the last deal.

Nice. Need this to connect pos/neg clamps to a charger maintainer for my 12 v battery. Should be thick enough if its truly 12 gauge.

Go ahead and bought it also in a month I'll probably go ahead and start rewiring my home theater and the wire that's on there now it's old.

I'm suspicious of cheap wire. There's no good way to cut costs on pure copper.
My exact thoughts, but for $17, I got it anyway. laugh out loud

Can it be used for household wiring like adding a power outlet?
