I read your first post and i guess you are saying that the KNU isn't a lot larger than other 1/0 wire. Well, no of course not. But it has a higher strand count and is tightly packed. The thing is, if it was way bigger then normal 1/0 it wouldn't be 1/0 wire.

The gauge is a measurement of the diamater of the wire. So the Knu has to fit within the specification layed down by whatever governing body or astm standard. Sure, it can be slightly larger or smaller, but it should be within the specification because it has to fit into 1/0 lugs, terminals and other things.

Knu works around this limitation by using a super high 36ga strand count, tightly packed, with a slightly thinner jacket so it's more flexible and also, with 5000+36ga wires it has more surface area to dissipate heat.

Theres no knot haha I dont care I just don't know why this thread had to get filled with so many posts that didnt even answer the original post. Although all of the posts made sense and were based on facts, they still didn't relate exactly to the original post so it was kind of frustrating. 'sall good though

What was the point?

Basically he was asking why the pictures on knukonceptz's website made the wire look so humongous. When you have the wire in front of you, it looks smaller. (not that it's subpar, because like was said above, the wire still has to conform to AWG standards of 1/0 gauge) but in the pictures online, the wire looks much bigger than the 1/0 standard. Almost looks comparable to 3/0 (although it's clearly not that big lol)

On the previous page, I posted the only picture on their website that I could find that actually showed the strands, and it looks almost exactly like what I have at my house. It also doesn't look too different from the OP's original picture. Any differences could just be how it was cut. Are there any more pictures on their website that I am not seeing?
