[QUOTE="Max Warasila, post: 133926, member: 3845"] Re: Socapex AWG Bite the bullet and get the 12ga. First, for anything over a few feet, I really suggest you go with 12ga. Cable loss plays a big role, especially over 50 feet. Second, soca is assumed to be 12ga most of the time. Third, (though I'm not read on this one - someone who knows better, please chime in) if it's only rated as 10a, then you probably shouldn't have any connector rated for higher than 10a attached to it per code. Two and Three combined mean that from a safety perspective, it's not advisable. There are more reasons and more articulate responses, but for power you really should go with 12 ga. EDIT: Also, I've always preferred 12/18, except when carrying it. [/QUOTE]
