Suitable Wire Guage Questions

2009-03-11 by Ti_

So, we know 22 guage is what's used with MOTM modules for non-audio connections, but is there a minimum or maximum gauge to go by?
I've got a whole mess of 24 guage wire I've scrapped from dead things at work, would that still be too thin?
Also have a bunch of 18 gauge which I guess could be a be unwieldy, but would Too big of wire to a reasonable size add any problems?
Last, I've got a big bunch of rg-174.  How long could I possibly run it to make normalizing cables inside the modular without problems, 2,3,4 feet or more?
Thanks,
Tim
