Cayote Thin-Wall Silicone Wire Black 11AWG 1 Metre CYECW05

Cayote Thin-Wall Silicone Wire is a high-quality, flexible power cable designed for demanding RC electronics and custom wiring installations. Using thin-wall silicone insulation, the CYECW05 provides the current-handling benefits of substantial 11AWG wiring while keeping the overall cable diameter compact at approximately 4.5mm.

The soft silicone insulation makes the wire exceptionally easy to bend and route through tight chassis layouts, helping create clean and efficient installations around ESCs, motors, batteries and connectors. Supplied as a 1-metre length in black, it is an excellent choice for high-current RC builds where flexibility, reduced bulk and reliable power wiring are priorities.

FAQ

What is the advantage of thin-wall silicone wire? Thin-wall insulation reduces the overall diameter and unnecessary insulation weight while retaining the flexibility and heat resistance associated with silicone RC wiring. This is particularly useful in compact racing and high-performance electronics installations.

How thick is the CYECW05 wire? The published outside diameter of the 11AWG CYECW05 is approximately 4.5mm.

What is this wire commonly used for? It is suitable for high-current RC power wiring, including appropriate connections between batteries, electronic speed controllers, motors and power connectors. It is also listed for use with Cayote CREST 8 and CREST 8 Evo applications.

What is the difference between Cayote 11AWG and 13AWG thin-wall wire? The 11AWG CYECW05 is the larger option with a published outside diameter of 4.5mm. Cayote's 13AWG CYECW04 measures approximately 3.5mm outside diameter and is better suited where a smaller, lighter cable is appropriate for the electrical load.

Does it come with connectors? No. CYECW05 is supplied as a bare 1-metre length of black wire. Connectors, terminals and heat-shrink tubing are sold separately.

Can I cut it to the length I need? Yes. The 1-metre length can be cut as required for custom wiring installations, helping minimise excess cable inside the vehicle.

Can connectors be soldered directly to the wire? Yes. This wire is intended for custom RC wiring applications where suitable connectors are soldered to the cable. Use appropriate soldering equipment and correctly insulate every completed connection.

Is this a red and black wire set? No. This product contains one 1-metre length of black 11AWG wire only.

Important Notes

• Package contains one 1-metre length of black wire only.
• Connectors, terminals and heat-shrink tubing are not included.
• Published outside diameter for CYECW05 is approximately 4.5mm.
• Select the correct wire gauge for the expected current draw of your RC electronics.
• Use appropriately rated connectors for high-current installations.
• Ensure solder joints are mechanically secure and correctly insulated before powering the vehicle.
• Avoid routing wiring against sharp chassis edges, gears, drive shafts or other moving components.
• Keep power wiring away from excessive heat where possible.
• Inspect wiring periodically for damaged insulation, loose connections or signs of overheating.
