| Radioware's Red-Black Power Zip Cord wire is stranded wire for reliable power supply connections. Constructed with multi-strand, copper wires, these red-black cables are flexible too. A oil resistant cable coating makes these cables ideal for the tough automotive, truck, and RV environment as well. The DC Voltage Drop tables above indicate that heavy wire is required for even relatively short distances. Excessive voltage drop will reduce your transmitter power output. | ||
