What does 20 AWG wire mean?
AWG or American Wire Gauge is the US standard measure for the diameter of electrical conductors. It means the higher the AWG number is, the smaller the wire diameter is. Our Belden cables and the pairs in instrumentation cable are some of the electrical cables where the conductor size is expressed as an AWG figure.
What is SWG GI wire?
British Standard Wire Gauge (often abbreviated to Standard Wire Gauge or SWG) is a unit for denoting wire size given by BS 3737:1964 (now withdrawn). It is also known as the Imperial Wire Gauge or British Standard Gauge. SWG was fixed by Order of Council August 23, 1883.

What AWG 22?
A 24 AWG wire has a diameter of . 0201 inch, and a 22 AWG wire has a diameter of . 0253 inch.
What is the difference between AWG and SWG?
The main difference between SWG and AWG is where they originated from. In general, an SWG wire would be bigger than an AWG wire of the same gauge. For example, with a gauge value of 1, an SWG wire would have a diameter of 0.3 inches while an AWG wire would have a diameter of 0.2893.
