(and is not "aimed" at 220v, the formula works with all voltages)

I was suggesting that the link in your post is not that relevant to the posters original question, that's all.
No please .... feel free to elaborate on this as much as you all want , ... all info is welcome and interesting

Now see what you started! LOL
But as you say, it is all knowledge

in the question was asked for "current/power"
The maximum current for a certain cable is:
you can make the current to power conversion like this: P = I * VQuote:
0.5mm˛ 3A
0.75mm˛ 6A
1mm˛ 10A
1.25mm˛ 13A
1.5mm˛ 16A
So the maximum power a 1mm˛ wire can carry at 12V is 120W.
When using a power supply bigger than lets say 10 A (12V)
every wire has to be 1mm˛ or better else you damage youre wiring
in case of a short circuit, for this reason it's better to use fuses.
flatcables and flatcableconnectors are usually rated for 1A.
