KnuKonceptz KCA 0 Gauge Power Ground Amp Wire Cable Black (10 ft) 1/0 AWG : Electronics

Description

The KnuKonceptz Kolossus Copper Aluminum (KCA) series battery cable consists of over sized, 34 gauge stranded, copper clad aluminum (CCA)conductors. Increasing the coductor size, KnuKonceptz was able to acheive similar performance compared to traditionally sized OFC cables. Following the load rating below, the use of the KCA Kable follows accepted industry standards for voltage drop over the rated distance. Applications include mobile audio and other 12V automotive applications. The KCA Kable features an ultra flex matte PVC jacket that makes it bend to any radius and stable in temperatures from -40C to 105C. This battery cable was designed specifically to be larger than the competition. Copper Clad Aluminum is less conductive than Oxygen Free Copper when comparing like sized conductors. CCA however is also much less expensive. By increasing the area in our KCA cable, KnuKonceptz was able to achieve similar performance to OFC, but without the higher cost. This is what makes our KCA cable different from the compitition. Specifications Core Material: 34 Gauge Copper Clad Aluminum Length: Available in various length Dielectric: Ultra Flex PVC Outer Diameter: 16mm Core Diameter: 12mm (estimated) Max Load: 250A @ 20' All KnuKonceptz Cable Products clearly state these specifications Wire type - CCA or OFC These materials are commonly used, but not commonly stated when shopping online. Know what you are purchasing. Both metals are capable of performing up to their rated loads. American Wire Gauge Wire gauge is crucial to powering your system correctly. Undersized cable will create unsafe conditions and may shorten your amplifier's life. Max Load (amps) Wire's ampacity changes with gauge and materials. KnuKonceptz does not rate cable based on watts. Amplifier manufactures do not always truthfully state the output of their product, check your on board fuses! Using American Wire Gauge standards, the gauge of stranded wire is determined by the total area of the conductor. To calculate this you would take the area of each strand and add it together. This area, in square mm, then determines gauge. Diameter is not as critical with stranded wire, this is due to the tiny air gaps between each strand. Diameter may fluctuate with strand size and how tightly wound the rope of the cable is. The smaller the number, the larger the wire, until you reach zero or aught (0 or 1/0). From zero, you then have double aught (00 or 2/0), three aught (000 or 3/0) ... Based on AWG, this cable is just under 2/0 spec based on area. It therefore still falls within the 1/0 spec range Copper is the best conductor, Oversized CCA is the best value. By Increasing the conductor size, we can offset the conductivity differences while maintaining a lower cost. Always follow the manufacturer's max rating on battery cable. Excessive loads will cause more distortion in amplifiers, create more heat, and will shorten the life of your electronics Proper termination is crucial, poor connections will create poor performance. CCA is not recommended for Marine or UTV applications.
