Product information "17-AWG hook-up wire GREY"
Use this wire size in combination with MICRO sleeve. Very experienced sleevers will also use it with SMALL sleeve, but it's not for the average user, because it requires perfect "length-stretch and fix the sleeving" skills. Do NOT use it with XTC, only use XTC if you bundle 2 or more of these wires into one XTC sleeve.
Grey hookup wire is typically used with all of our grey shades and carbon shades, which include grey. It's also perfect to keep the intensity of all medium and light cable sleeving colors at a neutral level, just between the subtle differences which Black or C-White wire create when used as the base for cable sleeving.
Stranded 17 AWG hook-up wire Grey, of course 100% tinned copper, no markings and coming as a beautiful large inner diameter ring to prevent spiral shaping as much as technically possible. At an outer diameter of only 2.00 mm, this is a class of its own.
Maximized conductor size for lowest resistance, minimized outer diameter: This is the uncompromising MDPC-X 17 AWG hook-up wire Grey, of course 100% made in Germany.
What's better than a high cross-sectional diameter?
An even higher one! The bigger the cross-sectional diameter, the lower the electrical resistance. Heating issues at high load? Not anymore!
18 AWG is the standard size used in todays computers. At an outer diameter of only 2.00 mm MDPC-X now brings you the next bigger conductor size of 17 AWG, because we can. The outer diameter of only 2.00 mm allows you to use 17 AWG now in the same way as you used 18 AWG before - ideal for push-in connectors like SATA THROUGH. This wire exceeds 18 AWG in electrical performance while being smaller or the same in outer diameter.
Technical Data:
- This wire comes in rings of 10 meter lengths
- Tinned copper conductor in PVC insulation according to VDE 0812
- -30°C to 80°C PVC insulation, flame resistant according to VDE 0482-332-1-2. Once braided with MDPC-X cable sleeving it is resistant from -58°C to +155°C. Short term peaks of 215°C can then also be handled without structural degradation
- Constant operating voltage: 900V, Test voltage 2.500V
- Electrical resistance per kilometer: max 18.5 Ohm
Attention: Hook-up wire is a relatively heavy item. It can quickly raise the weight based shipping cost to the next level.

New since 23rd May 2023: This is the custom CTX-4 MDPC-X crimping tool for our 15th anniversary of MDPC-X. The CTX-4 replaces our CTX-3 crimper. This unique crimping-tool is specifically optimized to create the ideal crimp-terminal shapes for your custom sleeved cables. This MDPC-X crimping tool is specifically made for the following wire sizes: Biggest Opening: 16-15 AWG (European: ~1.2 mm² to 1.5 mm²) 2nd biggest opening: 20-18-17 AWG (European: ~0.5 mm², 0.75 mm², 1.0mm²) 3rd and 4th opening: 23-26 AWG (European: ~0.14 to 0.25 mm²) CTX-4 | Optimized for no compromise Based on our experiences with crimping tool optimizations since 2007 (CT-1, CT-2 and CTX-3), the CTX-4 is the latest and likely final MDPC-X crimper for (open barrell) crimp terminals like the ones used for ATX, PCIe, Dupont, Fan, Fat-4, Mini-Fit, Micro-Fit, 12VHPWR etc. The jaws of the CTX-4 feature a short 4th position, which is ideal for shorter than normal crimp terminals: 12VHPWR signal pins and similar very small and short crimp terminals. The 2 openings for 16-15 AWG (~1.2 to 1.5 mm²) and 20-18-17 AWG (~0.5, 0.75 to 1.0 mm²) wires and terminals feature the unique MDPC-X anvil designs. These special openings create perfect crimp terminal shapes for custom sleeved cables: There's maximum pressure force on the conductor section BUT the insulation section of your wire and crimp-terminal stays in a fully round shape, not squeezed wider than high! This ideal roundness of your wire and terminal will keep the weave structure of the cable sleeving in a perfectly symmetrical condition during the whole sleeving process. After fabrication, each tool is tested for this specific performance in both openings and the 2 individual test-crimp-terminals are provided with your tool. Enjoy the ease of creating your own uncompromising custom cables with everything from MDPC-X! Crimping guide and tutorial for the MDPC-X crimping tool: Please have a look at the image gallery of this crimping tool. It gives you a full understanding about the procedures and important details of crimp terminal positioning. You open the crimping tool by "closing" it. Just press the handles together and the ratchet mechanism will release the lock. Place the crimp terminal into one of the 4 slots with the matching size for terminal and wire. The front of the crimp terminal must stick out of the jaws-rear far enough (the images explain it best). This is the most important aspect! Close the tool a little bit until it squeezes down the rear-wings of the crimp terminal (the so called "insulation holders"). Now push the uninsulated wire into the rear of the crimp terminal until the insulation stops at the narrow part in the middle of the crimp terminal (the so called "wire core holder"). The images show exactly what is meant. Insulation holder of the terminal is fully over the insulation, wire holder is completely over the uninsulated wire core. Now fully close the tool and it will "open" again when fully squeezed together. Done! You can always "pre-open" the tool by pushing the small lever (on the inside of the bottom handle) towards the front of the tool, while slightly pressing the handles together. If you experience that the front of a crimp terminal turns upwards or downwards, just place a finger underneath the crimp terminal front, which sticks out of the tool. Easy!
