Wiring Help

[danrst171]

Hi all, hoping for a little bit of wiring help if anyone is knowledgeable in the area. I bought something that came with a cable attached but I'm looking to extend it. There are four wires within the cable, so I purchased what I thought was the same cable (with four wires inside) but the extension piece I bought is thicker than the original.

Is there any risk in using this as opposed to the same thickness of wire? Or do I need to get an exact match?

to give a little more detail:

The description of the item states:
Current:IGN MAX 0.3A ILM 0.3A
Power: DC(10-15V) 12V Professional

The description of the extension wire I purchased was:
Cores manufactured to ISO 6722-1:2011 (Class B) 105°C
Plain Copper Conductors to BS EN 60228:2005 - PVC Insulated
Single core suitable for use at temperatures from -40°C to 105°C with excursions up to 120°C
Twins and multicores PVC sheathed at 70°C
Suitable for 12v and 24v systems (Maximum voltage 60v)
Reduced insulation gives considerable savings in weight and volume especially when used in large wiring harnesses
Good resistance to petrol, diesel, lubricating oils and diluted acids
PVC insulation offers good resistance to abrasion and cut through

Also mentions it is for 14 amps.

Should be ok.

Should be ok.

Good enough for me!

Note to self - make sure the fire extinguisher is close by when trying it for the first time
