    Hi Guys

    I would like to know if the wire AWG 26 can support voltage enough to make the connects to limit switch ?

    Limits run at 5v and <20mA so the choice is rather about "tough enough" to last all the flexing and vibrating they will be subjected to without breaking.

    Technically, it should work, but we recommend AWG22: See Xtension Wire By the Foot for a proven cable, to avoid issues down the line
