What is the minimum size of wire that can be used between a Frog Juicer and the turnout frog?
Recommended wire sizes and maximum distances to the frog from a Frog Juicer.

AWG Size Max Distance
30 2' (0.6m)
26 5' (1.5m)
24 8' (2.4m)
22
12' (3.6m)
18
32' (9.7m)

Note: Bigger wire is not necessarily better as it can actually cause problems with the booster or circuit breaker detecting the short before the Frog Juicer does. #22 AWG wire or larger is recommended for the Hex Frog Juicer
