[Mobile-Portable] Best #10 Wire for Mobile Apps?

[Dick Flanagan]

It is expensive.  It was expensive ten years ago when I started using 
it and I am sure the price is even higher now.

The rubber insulation is covered with what feels like an impervious 
plastic coating.  That is the PVC part.  It is resistant to water, 
oils, chemicals, abrasion and physical abuse.

Do an Internet search on GPT PVC and you will get lots of hits.  The 
PVC coating is what makes this a lot more than simple red and black insulation.

I don't sell the stuff, I've just used a lot of it.
