![20 awg Silicone Electrical Wire 2 Conductor Parallel Wire line 200ft [Black 100ft Red 100ft] 20 Gauge Soft and Flexible Hook](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/819YoAbluOL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
Solid hookup wire is a pretty standard kind of thing. It strips cleanly and easily. The two solid insulated strands twisted together are perfect for many low voltage/low current applications. This wire appears well made. It strips well and meets all my expectations at a fair price.
I originally got this to rewire my doorbell (originally wired in the 1940's with cloth insulated wire - yikes). I found out it was not right for this application when I discovered my doorbell was wired in an unorthodox way. It has a wire coming from the transformer in my basement that goes up the outside wall to the doorbell. From there the wiring goes up and through the rafters to the doorbell on an inside wall. Then it goes down that wall to the basement and runs. back to the transformer along the basement joists.
Since then I've used this in some other low voltage applications from hooking up a (really old) car stereo to power and speakers for my basement workroom/laundry to wiring some (old again) hidden low voltage lighting in wall units. Pretty much any place I may need some small wire to hook things up.
Wire is pretty much wire and while not appropriate for rewiring my doorbell (It would be for most people!) this fully met all my needs at a good price and I'm giving it 5 stars.
