BackBayRC 20awg Twisted Servo Extension Cable with Safety Clip – 100 Strands, JR-Style, 8 Lengths (5-Pack)
These BackBayRC 20awg twisted servo extension cables use JR-style connectors with gold-plated pins and 100 strands per wire, making them suited for RC vehicles, drones, and e-bikes. Available in 8 lengths, sold as a 5-wire pack, they help you organize wiring without added strain.
Why twisted wire and 100 strands matter
Twisted wire pairs reduce electrical interference, which can cause servo jitter in RC setups. The 100-strand count makes each wire flexible and durable, resisting breakage from vibration and repeated bending common in aircraft, cars, and boats. The 20awg thickness handles the current draw of standard servos and ESCs without excess voltage drop.

Frequently asked questions
What type of connectors do these cables use?
They use standard JR-style plugs, commonly found on most hobby servos and receivers.
How many strands are in each wire?
Each 20awg conductor contains 100 strands of copper, providing flexibility and good current capacity.
Are the pins gold-plated?
Yes, the pins are gold-plated to resist corrosion and maintain a stable connection over time.
Do these cables come with a safety clip?
Yes, each extension cable includes a safety clip that locks the connector in place, reducing the risk of servo leads coming loose during operation.
How to choose the right length
BackBayRC offers 8 lengths so you can select the exact reach needed between your receiver and servo. Common RC builds use lengths from 10 cm to 60 cm; the 30 cm (12 in) option in this pack is a versatile middle ground. Measure the distance and add a little slack to avoid tension on the connectors.
