Can anyone tell me what brand wire this is?

[Lonely Raven]

It's 20AWG Stranded Copper and says:

CSA LL89093 TEW

And it's a pretty sparkly blue/violet

Interesting...thank you for that!

It seems this type of wiring is basically used for panel wiring, HVAC, typical contractor stuff it seems.

So that explains the printing on the wire, but doesn't help me get closer to finding this wire specifically. At least I know what it is and I can get something similar. Thanks for the info thus far!

CSA is the certification for the wire. TEW is the type of wire. I got to the link I posted by searching for "TEW wire." Give it a try and you'll see.

I did, many times. I was hoping one of the numbers would lead me to a specific brand of wire. But it's probably just one brand out of thousands with similar ratings and certification.

how many strands of wire?

tinned or bare copper?

what gauge is the wire?

These questions will help a lot in tracking down a make / model out of thousands of options.

Understood. I'll look into when I next have the amp over. Thanks!
