Power Functions ribbon wire gauge?

[stacker9000]

Hey everybody,

Can anyone tell me what gauge PF ribbon wire is, or if I am incorrect in the terminology of the wire?

Has anyone repaired or modified their cables? What may be alternate substitutes?

I have a few cables that need repaired & some I'd like to extend a little bit, & would like try to do it myself.

Ultimately, I would like them to look original & not just solder in patch wire.

Any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I think the wires are 22 or 24 gauge.  I crimped dupont connectors on the ends of my PF cables salvaged from burned out PF M-motors.  I can extend them with wires that have a dupont connectors or connect them to devices with header pins like motor drivers.
