Gauge is diameter but it's often given as a number that represents a particular diameter. There are various scales, so you need to know what any gauge number refers to - common scales - SWG and AWG - standard wire gauge and American wire gauge. 20 SWG is 0.71mm and around 21 AWG (although gauges generally only get used/quoted in even numbers).
