The maximum resistance values are for the wire as a single conductor. Additional allowances have to be made when the wires are cabled into a multi conductor cable.

Because of the small gaps between the strands in a stranded wire, a stranded wire with the same current-carrying capacity and electrical resistance as a solid wire, always have a slightly larger …

Basic stranding configurations are shown to depict some variations in wire AWG diameters. This table shows single wire AWG on left and equivalent AWG when paired, tripled and in quad configurations.
