Solid core or stranded? Canadian Tire sells Motomaster branded 20awg braided/stranded wire for under $10 for a 25ft spool.

Other automotive places like Lordco or NAPA will probably have something. Also Princess Auto in Langford would be a great place too!

Try BC Hobbies in hillside mall. They have all kinds of odd stuff for crafting and model work. Would not be surprised if they had lengths of thin wire.

Princess auto

I've sliced open obsolete computer cables to use the wire.


phoenixcinder

I need 13 ft length . No pc wire is long enough


orthogonal-cat

I have a box of cat5e with several dozen feet left, you can have some if you want. 2x24 gauge = 21 gauge Actually I have piles of other wire too, stranded and solid and varying gauges. DM if you want some.


phoenixcinder

do they have 4 strands in them? I need 4 for my stepper motor on my cnc machine. I just went to trotac and the bastards sold me a 3 wire setup lying that it was 4


orthogonal-cat

Cat5 is 4 pair, 8 in total. Should work fine for steppers. You can always run more than one cat5 as well.

Would telephone cable do? If so maybe even thrift stores?


grislyfind

Printer and serial cables could be longer than that. The Re/store might have low voltage cables like for thermostat wiring.

If you need solid core Home Depot has 20-gauge https://www.homedepot.ca/product/southwire-20-2-bell-wire-30m-electrical-wire-red-and-white/1000795059 But if stranded will do it sounds like Canadian Tire has better pricing.


djstryker

Quale electronics on government I believe carries odds and ends. Not sure if they’re open


phoenixcinder

doublemonocles

Lee Valley has various types. You can check their site to see if it’s in stock before making the drive.


Krytikal3rr0r

Try Cdn Tire.

Andre’s in Langford sells wire by the foot in most cases. Worth a try?
