BackBayRC 20 AWG Twisted Servo Extension Cable - 100 Strands, Gold Plated, Safety Clip - 5-Pack (6 inch)
BackBayRC 20 AWG Twisted Servo Extension Cable - 100 Strands, Gold Plated, Safety Clip - 5-Pack (6 inch)
This 20 AWG twisted servo extension cable from BackBayRC is built with 100 strands of wire per lead and gold-plated pins for reliable signal transmission in RC vehicles, drones, and e-bikes. Each pack includes five cables in one of seven available lengths (this one is 15 cm / 6 inches). The twisted pair design helps reduce electromagnetic interference, and the optional safety clip prevents accidental disconnection during heavy vibration.
Why 100 strands per wire matters for RC applications
Standard servo wires typically use far fewer strands. With 100 strands per conductor, this cable is extremely flexible and resistant to metal fatigue from repeated bending. The high strand count also lowers resistance, ensuring consistent voltage delivery to your servo even under load. Combined with the 20 AWG gauge, it handles higher current without overheating—important for large-scale RC models or high-torque digital servos.

How does the safety clip keep the connection secure?
The included safety clip snaps over the servo plug and the extension's receptacle, locking them together. This prevents the cable from vibrating loose during aggressive maneuvers or rough terrain driving. It's especially useful in nitro or gas RC vehicles where engine vibration is constant. The clip is easy to remove when you need to disconnect, but stays firmly in place during operation.
Frequently asked questions
Are these cables compatible with Futaba receivers and servos?
Yes, the plugs are designed to Futaba-style spacing and keying. They also work with many other brands that use the same standard, including Hitec and JR (check your equipment's polarity).
Can I use these for power wires on my drone or E-bike?
While designed for servo signals, the 20 AWG gauge and 100-strand construction allow them to handle moderate current. Always verify the current draw of your application—they are ideal for servo extensions, not high-amp power leads.
What lengths are available in this series?
The seven lengths range from 15 cm (6 in) to 90 cm (36 in). This listing is for the 15 cm version. See the product variations to pick a different length.
How many cables come in one pack?
Each pack contains 5 individual extension cables, all identical in length.
