It will be the diameter.
OP
I assumed that but it says on the other side of packaging upto 50mm squared which the diameter of is more then 9mm

You can see the conversion here that 9mm is roughly 50.0

I make it 9mm diameter is a touch over 63mm^2 (pi r^2).

I was thinking 9mm would be OD, whereas 50mm2 would be conductor size.
Then I looked into this and realised 25mm 6491x would be a hair under 9mm OD. Kiein must not employ too many mathematicians within their marketing dept.
Being American made where they would use AWG and converting to metric has left a slight difference converting to mm.
Those Americans and their metric / awg sizing
The smaller the awg the bigger the cable
The smaller the awg the bigger the cable
it's not smaller, just a lower number. wots rong with that? my camera lenses have f2.8 is bigger than f3.5. and 2 cubits = 1 yard.
You would think awg 0 would be the smallest diameter then moving upwards in number the diameter would get gradually wider, but no its the other way round ...
Similar to the new GCSE grade system... Grade 1 is the lowest and Grade 9 is the highest !
I think it's so that as they make the exams easier... they can just keep adding numbers rather than adding a "*" to it.

What happens when a cable is larger than AWG 0?
Does 0+0=2
I think its goes 00 , 000 etc etc
only when you get your fingers trapped in the cutters.
