Actuator wire guage

[mr3p]

Going to be replacing some wire and may add second run should I decide to change location of positioner. For a run of 150-160 feet, would you recommend 16 or 18 AWG? Out of curiosity, how far can you go with 18AWG reliably?

Educated guess....about 300FT

Thanks, I figured 18AWG would be fine but always better to ask first.
