Hello John,
Multiply the diameter of one strand (in mils) by itself, and then multiply
the result by the total number of strands (CMA=D*DxN).
In your case, CMA=1.5*1.5*36 => 81
This is similar to a single strand of 31AWG solid wire.

This cable has 36 strands,
measuring 1.5 mils per strand.  Can anyone help me with a URL or a makeshift
chart including smaller wire gauges?


Much appreciated.
