Please, stick to the NFPA 79 Standard, Table 13.5.1, which specify the allowable ampacities for conductors with smaller sections (30 AWG to 10 AWG) than the NEC ampacities (14 AWG to 2000 kcmil).

This standard rates 2A for 2224 AWG, 90 deg., single conductor.

And considering 8 carrying conductors inside a same cable, we should apply a 70% derating factor, with an estimate of 1.4A for 2224 AWG, 90 deg., 8 carrying conductors.

This consider could vary according specific manufacturer certifications. Also, this assumes a CAT6 Cable as 24 AWG.

Please, stick to the NFPA 79 Standard, Table 13.5.1, which specify the allowable ampacities for conductors with smaller sections (30 AWG to 10 AWG) than the NEC ampacities (14 AWG to 2000 kcmil).

This standard rates 2A for 22 AWG, 90 deg., single conductor.
