American to metric ca6/e s/zes
In the US sphere of influence the dimensions of copper wires for Power and Telecommunications purposes are most/y given in AWG —numbers. These must be confused with the American — Street — Wire — Gauge — Numbes. They do, however, coincide with the B&S (Brown & Sharp) values.
