I need a cable with minimum 4 sqmm size (bigger is no problem). I get offered a cable type (or size or whatever) 16.

When I start asking for the square millimeter I get these boring faces why this farang asking unnecessary things......

Does anyone know these types and how big they are?

You can use this calculator: http://www.mogami.com/e/cad/wire-gauge.html

conductor size 12 AWG

area 4.000 mm^2 (square-mm)

area 7894 CM (circular mil)

diameter 88.8 mil (1)

diameter 2.257 mm (1)

DC-resistance 0.00431 Ohm/m

thanks a lot :-)
