Hello, what is the advisable wire gauge to use with a 12V 10A 120W power supply? I prefer to use stranded wire, but I don't know which gauge to choose.
Depends on the length of the wire.

Oh I see. For 2 meters, sir, what wire gauge should I use?
It depends what load you have, not what your PSU can supply.
So what are you powering with it?

when determining your run length, you have to include the positive and negative cables. For example, if your load is three feet away from your power supply, then you’ll need to look at the “6 foot” length

AWG #16 will be Ok for most applications.
