Well, my electronics knowledge is admittedly pretty fuzzy, but isn't the carrying capacity of a conductor measured in watts (volts times amps)? In other words, 2.2 amps at 3vots would equal 6.6 watts whereas 2.2 amps at 120 volts would be 264 watts.

Since laser circuits work with different battery voltages as well as different LD voltages, it seems to me it would be useful to know how many volts that 2.2 amp wire rating is based on.
Hey, I'm not worried. I'm sure it's suitable for our builds and I already ordered some. I'm just curious. :thinking:

Well, this is getting beyond my level of competence too, but the power transmission number seems to indicate the wire can handle 75 watts of current load. How that translates to the "chassis wiring" capability I don't know, but it sounds like there's plenty of headroom. The only other concern might be the dielectric strength of the .01" silicone insulation. Again, at the power levels we're working with, I'd think that wouldn't be a problem either unless there's a severe kink in the wire.
