What is the wire gauge of the individual leads from your CT's?

Mostly all of our CTs use 24AWG wire gauge. We have some 600V-rated CTs that may have a larger gauge.

If you're interested in extending the CT length you may use CAT6 cable which *most* are 23 AWG. You can also go to the local box stores and look for zoned irrigation cable. Which also range from 23-24 AWG and the benefit is they also come in 4-10 pair lines.

Thanks for the replies......

I am planning to use a telephone 66 Block Wiring Hub to organize my wires and wanted to know if it would be suitable.

That would be perfectly fine so long as you can ensure the wires are isolated in groups before its terminated into the GEM.

Can we use a 22 AWG to extend the wire? any consequences?

22 AWG would be even better in terms of wire diameter.
