- Cable size 10 AWG has an ampacity of 40 amps (90°C insulation) or 35 amps (evaluated with 75°C insulation).
- 2005, James Stallcup, Stallcup′s Electrical Design Book, published 2005, pages 8–9:
- For example: What is the allowable ampacity of one of three 8 AWG THHN copper conductors in a metal raceway system used at 60°C?
- Initialism of arbitrary waveform generator.
- Initialism of arrayed waveguide grating.
- 2011, Elaine Wong, “Chapter 3: Optical Technologies in Passive Optical Networks”, in Cedric F. Lam, editor, Passive Optical Networks: Principles and Practice, page 94:
- An important parameter in the AWG is the free spectral range (FSR) which defines the wavelength periodicity of fixed width [12].

- (geology) Initialism of Anthropocene Working Group.
- 2022 December 13, McKenzie Prillaman, “Are we in the Anthropocene? Geologists could define new epoch for Earth”, in Nature[1], :
- The AWG is working backwards, Finney says: normally, geologists identify strata that should enter the geological timescale before considering a golden spike; in this case, they’re seeking out the lower boundary of an undefined set of geological layers.
