What is Pitch 2.54 mm ?
If the question seeks to determine the pitch (center to center spacing) of the cable itself, it is .050", which is 1/2 that of the .100" (~2.54mm) 2 rows by 5 pins headers intended for use with this type of wire. This wire is intended to be used with a crimped connector that would mate to a 2 x 5 row of .100" pins.
Can each color wire pull apart and is seperatable?
Yes, quite easily
What gauge wire is this?
verrry small. At least a 26 or 28
Almost certainly 28 gauge. Ribbon down to at least 22 gauge exists but 28 gauge is used in common connectors so that's all you ever see.
Why double the price of other vendors? Something I'm missing with this wire vs the others with the same pictures?
Unfortunately that's the market price here.I was selling them for much more in the pastBut the competition is rude here so I'm trying to do my best
