Hi gang, I’m new here. I’m rebuilding a wiring harness for '97 Subaru. I’m looking to replace a single conductor shielded cable used for a knock sensor. The conductor is about 18 gauge AWG. Does D-K have an equivalent? Any help appreciated.

Hello,  
Welcome to the DigiKey Electronics TechForum. We carry a large selection of single conductor wires. We have a category specifically for automotive applications.

[Hook-Up, Automotive 18 AWG Single Conductor Cables (Hook-Up Wire) | Electronic Components Distributor DigiKey](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/single-conductor-cables-hook-up-wire/474?s=N4IgjCBcoOwBxVAYygMwIYBsDOBTANCAPZQDa4YATPAGwgC6hADgC5QgDKLATgJYB2AcxABfQgGZKEaCBSQMOAsTIgALAFYYYAAx1GIVuy58hokSKA)

The shortest length available in this category is 25’. If you would prefer a shorter length you can check out our other options which I have narrowed down to 18 AWG.
