Re: ground wire extension (anti-static ground)

If I want to make an extension for my ground wire (which I use with for
anti-static grounding purposes) what type of wire do I need to use? I
don't know what the gauge or type of wire that is used in the ground
wire (no markings on wire) but it is the standard ground wire that
comes with an anti-static mat with snap-on connector.


I always used 16 AWG, to reduce the risk of it breaking and losing
the antistatic protection. I used to test and repair the wiring on
about 100 benches, and about 145 mats every three months.
