The difference between 14/2 and 12/2 landscape wire is mainly in their gauge and capacity. The 14/2 wire has a smaller gauge (thinner wire) for lower current applications, while the 12/2 wire, like the "Landscape Lighting 12V Direct Burial Cable, 12/2 AWG, 500 Foot Spool," is thicker, accommodating higher current loads. This makes 12/2 wire ideal for longer runs or higher wattage systems in landscape lighting, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
