General Information about Sizing

Any size followed by a “/0” is referred to as that number and then aught – so, 1/0 AWG is 1 aught.  Aught is an old English term for “zero” so:

  • 1/0 AWG = 0 AWG = #0 = 1/0 = 1 aught
  • 2/0 AWG = 00 AWG = #00 = 2/0 = 2 aught
  • 3/0 AWG = 000 AWG = #000 = 3/0 = 3 aught
  • 4/0 AWG = 0000 AWG = #0000 = 4/0 = 4 aught

Cable sizes get larger with more zeroes!  And yes, zero gauge is in fact 1/0 AWG.  AWG simply denotes that the cable meets or exceeds the American Wire Gauge standards.

Now, 4 AWG is easily confused with 4/0 AWG as some folks pronounce the abbreviation AWG as aug, which they confuse with aught.  2 AWG easily confused with 2/0 AWG, 1 AWG easily confused with 1/0 AWG, etc.  So, keep the following in mind:

  • 4/0 AWG is SIX sizes larger than 4 AWG!
  • 2/0 AWG is THREE sizes larger than 2 AWG!
  • 1/0 AWG is ONE size larger than 1 AWG!

    Used the 4 gauge wire to replace the power wire on my 2005 Dodge Neon. Very beefy wire but still very flexible, and easy to work with. I have not had any problems out of it since. Dodge ran their power wire (looks like 8 or 10 gauge) from the starter, through the fusible link, around the engine block, down under the exhaust manifold, to the alternator. Used this with CE’s Basic ANL Style Fuse Holder with 100AMP fuse, and ran the wire along the firewall. No problems yet. Helped out with headlight flicker from my 400watt amp. Also noticed a bit of a boost in my voltage since the wire has a shorter run, with no resistance from heat.

    Highly cost effective flexible cable. Professionally I use it for all our truck 12V electrical systems. Personally I use it for the Chevelle. In all cases it is the easy to run, flexible and very low loss alternative to welding type cable of the same AWG.

    24 years car audio experience; This is an outstanding cable that exceeds the quality standards. I accidentally stumbled acrosse the company and glad that it offers foot incremental lengths which is cost effective and convenient. 2 AWG was used in the 2015 Toyota Tundra upgrade. Purchased, Tested, Highly recommended ?!

    Great wire!!! Very flexible, easy to work with, looks good, works great.

    I installed all new battery cables and added an aux battery and accessory panel on my 08 Silverado and have been very happy with the wire.
