What is the gauge for hookup wire?
AWG denotes the thickness of the conductor used to make the hookup wire. A low gauge number denotes a thicker hookup wire. The 22 AWG hook up wire and the 28 AWG hook-up wires are the most commonly used hook up wires. However, the most ideal speaker wire should fall between 12 AWG to 16 AWG.

What is thicker 22 or 20 gauge wire?
20 gauge is thicker wire than 22 gauge.
Which wire is thicker 20 or 22 AWG?
What is a 22 gauge wire?
The term ‘gauge’ is used to define the diameter of the wire. Here at SparkFun, we typically use 22 AWG wire for prototyping and breadboarding. When using a breadboard or PCB, solid core is perfect because it fits nicely into the holes.
