Hi People.
I just trying to figured of correct numbers. As I do not have micrometer neither microscope or other precision tools, I just trying more "diy" methods.
I have plenty of coaxial cable RG 59 B/U with copper braided shield. The shield are from 16groups of 7 strands, 112 wires total. Copper wire, not CCA.
I just couldn't find what is exact diameter of that tiny wire. Lack of micrometer, I just take one wire and wound spirally on screwdriver. 30 spins measure cca 4mm, which giving result something between 0.125-0.14 mm of diameter single wire.
Do somebody have more precise diameter of that wire?
The point is to strip off that braided shield from cable as I do not have other use for it and use that braided part as flexible power conductor. And depend of diameter calculate ampacity of such conductor.
Sorry if that sounds silly, but I have good reason to use it in this way.
Thanks for any help.
