The perfect addition to any lamp or small appliance such as fans and radios, this beautiful 16 gauge braided wire is a great way to replicate that vintage industrial age charm.

This is BRAND NEW reproduction antique style 2-wire, 16 gauge (known as 16/2). Each wire is a stranded copper insulated wire (much like standard wiring of today) then covered in a braided cotton fabric. The fabric is soft and deep in color, similar to old industrial age cloth covered wiring. Two colors are utilized to create this eye catching chevron pattern, each wire braided individually then twisted together. Order this 16 gauge cable today!

    New Customer for Ever

    I had been looking for high quality vintage looking cable, twisted. I ordered 50 feet of this cable. It arrived quickly, very well packaged. It is exactly what I was looking for to rewire my 4×12 guitar cabinet. I also work on guitar Amplifiers and I will be a repeat customer.
