Details

This is a listing for 50cm (half a meter) of soft and super flexible stranded 18 AWG Twin Silicone Wire, each "item" you buy is half a meter - if you want a meter, buy quantity 2, if you want 1.5 meters buy quantity 3, you get the idea....

This is twin wire, aka figure 8 wire, one red, one black, conjoined twins.

This is super soft and flexible wire, great for making up your own test leads etc.

Here are the specifications I have:
Each core is 150 strands, tinned oxygen-free copper, 0.08mm/strands, 0.75 mm^2 total cross sectional area (18 AWG) per core
Outside Dimension: 2.3x4.6mm (see this other listing for wire with thicker insulation when available)
Temperature range: -60C to 200C

As for current rating, a rule of thumb calculation (cross sectional area multiplied by 25) gives about 18A as a maximum value, maybe derate that slightly for twin cores.
