PACKAGING:
12ft, 25ft and 50ft lengths are coils while 100ft comes on spools
SPECIFICATIONS AND RATINGS:
The amperage for your installation is governed by where you install the wire but here are the ratings for under 50V as specified by the ABYC for wiring(which also matches the NEC recommended ratings for single conductors in free air at 600V or less with 105C jacket and 30C ambient air temperature)
