Is this stranded or solid?

The cable is comprised of 4 twisted pairs (8, copper clad, solid aluminum wires). The wires are NOT solid copper, rather they are copper coated aluminum. In my opinion, this cable is less expensive but inferior to solid copper cable.

This is solid core cable. We haven't had any problems with this cable as of yet. It has really good abrasion protection.

It is as solid as the one that was replaced in mine but I don't know how old mine is because I got it second hand. It is very sturdy.

The box is stranded wire. Fairly flexible, and good cable. Ran drops in my home with it. Zero issues.

Bulk stranded wire would generally be used for making custom patch cables. Stranded wire is more durable where the cable would be subject to movement. Solid wire is typically used for in-wall wiring that will not be handled after it is installed. Solid wire performs slightly better because of lower resistance but would develop cracks within the cores of the wires if handled like a patch cable. Think of bending a paperclip over and over - The copper cores are not nearly as brittle, but that is the same concept.The one exception I can think of for stranded cable as infrastructure wiring would be an environment with heavy machinery that would subject the cabling to vibration.

16 gauge copper core stranded, also check out Ugly's even master electricians carry this in their bag. Ugly's Electrical References, 2011 Edition

Hello, it seems solid to me. I've been using it for a while now and I have had zero issues with it.

Sorry, I haven't check. But I'm not too worried. This thing looks very solid. Denis

I returned mine as it was very unstable. You get what you pay for. It was very cheap.

Mine is working fine, I'm guessing the bypass side is grounding it's self. Most likely against the housing. :/

Stranded wire is multiple smaller diameter strands wrapped together to form wire. It's more flexible. Solid core is one wire. It's easier for breadboarding and more durable. Personally I like stranded better. Unless I'm breadboarding

That's something I didn't check on. I figured since it was so cheap, it wasn't that big of a deal.We could just get a new one if it broke. We haven't had any issues so far - it's working as it should.

Personally mine has been rock solid. Never have to touch it also I have it plugged into a UPS.

I will now do you a favor. Don't worry about the question. Pack it up & return it.It falls apart in use. That is a guarantee. I am telling you the truth.

I don"t know just how tough it really is, but it is solidly built. For the price, if it were damaged you could probably forget it and buy another one. I think it most likely is gonna draw more current than your ATV can provide when transmitting high power.

It's somene sort of bendable plastic covered wood. I'm sure it would break if stressed enough. If you have the tools & skills, I'm sure you can diy! It had holes, but as I remember, not enough. We didn't bother putting it on. The thing is so low to the ground, you can't really tell. If you have neat cables; no big deal!

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.

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.
