Re: Anderson PowerPole for CAN bus?

I would like to know if the 15 Amp APP could be legal.

We are currently trying to decide between APP 15 amp connectors and the pwm connectors for the CAN connections on the Talon SRX's. I am wondering if the APP 15 amp connectors would be frc legal as the maximum gauge wire is 20 AWG and the Talon SRX's CAN wires are 22 AWG. I would hate to have the team rewire the whole thing during a competition because of a research mistake.

Thanks for any help
