Cerrowire not so stiff in the larger gauges. Cerrowire seems easier to work with than Southwire.
I have used both Cerrowire and Southwire in 12-2 and in 16-2 for a large landscape lighting project powered by solar & deep cycle batteries. Both seem heavy duty and should stand the test of time. However I find Cerrowire to be more pliable and easier to work with. The Southward is very stiff stuff. For instance, the Southwire can be difficult to snip the center and then pull the 12-2 wire apart for stripping and wiring. It just doesn't want to easily split for stripping and wiring. I was doing this in cool weather (low 50's F), so maybe Southwire is more pliable if the weather is warmer. The hardness & stiffness of the jacket insulation may be a good thing from the durability standpoint, but it makes it hard to work with. For instance, the cheap tie in connectors that simply pinch and pierce the wire will have a hard time going thru Southwire. The insulation is that much stiffer than the Cerrowire. My preference is definitely the Cerrowire due to its pliability and ease of use.
