AWG-American Wire Gauge.
The lower the number the heavier the wire, and the more current it can
handle without over heating.
In the US, #14 AWG carries 15 AMPS.

Hello,
I need to connect some units with RS485 and in the user guide I have found
the following text regarding the cable to use:
"Wire gauge size is thicker than AWG #22 (0.33 mm2)."

I wonder what "AWG" is, is this a kind of a cable or specification?

Best Regards

E
