Re: CAT5 for Solenoid Connections

Chris,
You are correct as to the wire gauge. However, I always caution teams that using solid wire on moving devices like a robot beg for wire fatigue and failure. We rarely use solid wire and then only when very secure so that it will not move. Essential wiring gets changed out whenever suspect.
