Thanks for all the responses!

My only hesitation about Powerwerx is it looks like we have used of their 12AWG wire in the past, and it is a bit larger in diameter than the 30AMP power pole connector crips, so we always have to cut some of the strands off. If I remember correctly, the 30AMP power poles are rated to fit on 12AWG wire, so the sizing of Powerwerx wire might be a little bit off?

Edit 1: While I'm at it, where to find 22AWG wire? Or more importantly since it is probably on one of the websites already linked, does anyone else even use it or just stick to all 18AWG?

Edit 2: It's possible we were using 10AWG and just didn't know, but curious if anyone else had this issue with powerwerx wire.
