A guy on gumtree is selling "2.5mm 3C+E" cable for a good price. I need new extension cables. Online US-centric charts indicate that 2.5mm diameter cable is ~AWG 10 and under the "maximum amps for power transmission" column AWG 10 is 15A.
Two questions:
- given my devices are only ever going to be pushing 10A constant at full output, surely these cables are more than enough? There's a picture and they look pretty big, but nowhere near as big as my existing stupidly big extension cable that's about a 50c piece in total diameter and came with 50A Clipsal socket/plug.
- is it disingenuous to put 32A sockets/plugs on a cable like this, even though I'm the only one using them, if the cables themselves aren't capable of 32A?
