Default Current carrying capacity of shielded wire by the wire gauge

Having a hard time finding something that isn't rocket science.

I want to know the current carrying capacity of shielded wire by the wire gauge for runs of less than 25 feet.

I found this.

Any recommendations?


What kind of "shielded" wire are you talking about? If it's a multiconductor
shielded cable, like you'd use for sensitive signaling or audio, then it's
just like any other cable, determined by the
gauge of the conductors inside the shield. If it's coax you're talking
about, it's typically not used for DC or low freq AC. What are you using
and trying to do?
