is the wire solid or stranded?

Each of the 8 wires is solid: copper clad aluminum in plastic insulation. The there are 4 pairs of wire, with each pair being twisted together (standard CAT5e cable)

It's kind of flimsy. The wire is about the same thickness and sturdiness of a wire coat hanger. I guess that's the best guideline I can give you.

Mine broke about 2 weeks after receiving it. I didn't send it back . It is the wire that needs to be upgraded. If they would do that it should be an ok product.

Stranded wires are made up of small wires wrapped together that for the overall thickness (i.e. gauge) of the wire. Solid wires are made of a single wire of the specified thickness. Stranded wires, because they are made from smaller wires wrapped together, are usually more flexible than solid wires.

It is single stranded wire for working with breadboards mostly. So the latter

I believe it is stranded copper. I can't see it, but it doesn't feel as stiff as solid copper usually does, so I would think it is stranded.

stranded wires are insulation around multiple smaller generally copper wires where as solid is one single thicker wire surrounded by insulation rather than multiple smaller wires, stranded tends to be less rigid and frays easily solid does not fray and stays rigid much easier

Yes, the ground wire is solid core. You don't really need a stranded wire for this application. The main factor in any use of wire in the ground is the insulation factor. You need to make sure and not scrape off any insulation while placing in the ground and if going under a graveled area, or anywhere a vehicle packs down the dirt or gravel, run it thru plastic conduit.This will keep the insulation and or wire from breaking and save some headaches.

It's a heavy gauge wire, but definitely not a post. I'd say it's about the same size as one strand of my very heavy-duty speaker wire. Doesn't quite disappear, but probably as minimal an appearance as you can have and still hold the light securely.

No and the wire will fall off quickly. It was so cheap and looked so nice but, was in fact cheap AND crappy!

The actual wire is in a shielded mesh outer casing. It looks and feels like ropes you would use climbing a mountain. The overall thickness is similar to an 8 guage wire, but I could tell you what the actual guage of the wire unless I cut one open. I hooked it up between a 32" LCD TV and cable box and the picture and sound are great.

Immaterial. All you're doing is putting a very light voltage through a single strand of wire. Not even enough to shock you if you touch it (I've had to fix a break in the wire and it doesn't even produce a spark when you touch the two pieces of wire together).

The wire is insulated; however, the wire is very thin. You can easily replace it with larger insulated wire from home store.

solid is well...solid. Stranded is made up of alot of really small wires. Solid is great for bread boarding because they are "stiff" stranded is great for making wires longer (say a power cord as an example) because the wire is more flexible.

Solid is what is needed to terminate network cable onto jacks and patch panels. We have never used stranded network wire in over 20 years of installs. We do use stranded for speaker, alarm, cctv, access control where we are screwing wires down to terminals or using wire nuts. You will use solid for all structured cabling in commercial or home applications

It is wire. Purchased for my daughter and she carries books , groceries etc. in it.

I'm looking to purchase this and solid core copper is the only way to go, in their picture it shows that the wires are solid core and not stranded. So is the picture wrong or does someone not know the difference between stranded and solid core?
