covert to AWG -----5.5 mm2 (105/26ac) tray wire

(OP)
Can someone tell me what wire size to buy wire label is as above.
Called Hagemeyer our distributor and he could not convert.

From internet I think;
5.5 would be tween 9 and 10 AWG
105 is number of strands
0.26 is diameter of each strand.
If I use regular 10 awg wire the movement quickly breaks the cable


I gave that and still not known what type wire to sell me
This runs In the tray that has a lot of movement
Supplies power to My Anderson America stratus/wfd router motor.

Once I know that I also have a 2.0mm (37/0.26ac)

I apologize for ignoring your reply. I really appreciate your input.
I had found that particular chart.
The problem was the rest of the identification.

This is for the leads of a large motor that runs on a CNC router.
It runs in a cable tray and has much movement.

Regular eso of the same "size" was tried but could not hold up to the continuous bending.
This cable has very small threads and is very flexible, actually has 150 threads in the cable.
The last number in the identification is the size of each thread.
I was able to contact American Wire Manufacturer and got there cross over.

thanks again.
