What is wire material used in this cord? Why is there a lead warning on the packaging?

Either refer to the specification or pose the question to the manufacturer as questions like this can be better responded to, from the manufacturer...

Not sure as I did not keep package. For the amount of times u will use it, I would not worry! It is a solid heavy duty cord.

Every extension cord I've ever seen has the same lead warning (Christmas lights too). The socket and plug ends of the cord are factory sealed so I can't see the wiring material directly, I dont remember if the package specified. I was focussed on the load rating, since the maximum output mine will have to Cary is 23amps at 240volts I felt the 30 amp rating left a comfortable margin. Cable is heavy duty and performs well for my purpose (connecting generator to transfer switch).

plastic with wire handles. used mine for several months. works well and looks almost new. shouldn't be a concern.

It is an electrical code designation. Probably identifies 12 gauge wire with specific insulating materials.

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.

Copper.....I had to change the male connector , the only reason I know for sure....Your getting your money's worth on this cord.

I believe what he wants to know is what the current carrying capacity of the 'wires' are.. if we know the gauge the wire this can be looked up online I would assume they are stranded wires.. there are different tables depending on weather it is stranded or solid copper wire.

It's probably a 18 gauge wire. I didn't check the size because I was using it for a GPS.

Mine came in with wires broken on one of the leads. The package is sealed in such a way that it can be opened and resealed. Wasn't worth the effort to return it.

the cord that i received is stamped (ul) on the cable itself, but i can't say what the next one is stamped. the cord package has a company phone number to call for infomation.

It is all copper. Aluminum would be completely unsuitable... This is very good speaker wire and I am very satisfied with it.....

When I purchased this wire, I read a lot of reviews, and some of these reviews contained claims that the wire was copper plated aluminum. I got this wire from SatMaximum. They claimed it to be copper in the ad, but I see that they must have started over with the ad, because there are only 3 reviews on this new ad, which makes no claim either way on its composition. Overall I am happy with the product, although it does appear to have a silvery core, which may be aluminum...

This is in the Product Description: Please note this is "commercial grade" Cat6 style cable made from pure copper, it is NOT CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum).It didn't not appear to be CCA when i used it

There is a power cord coming out. They are 2 wires. The only hard part is there is no documentation as to positive vs negative lead. I tested both directions and chose which worked best.

The wire that I received was copper. This is a good question and I didn't think to ask it until after I placed my order. But the wire is copper and a good quality.

While I would have to destroy my own cable to really find out, I'm reasonably sure it is probably a stranded copper wire. I can't imagine it would be otherwise but I'm not 100% positive.

The pendant is metal and the cord was wire wrapped in a black plastic. The cord broke easily and could not be repaired. The pendant was durable.

The Positive lead is clearly marked if you have the one with the rubber MC3 connectors, The Female MC3 (the one with the hole inside if looking at the face of the connector) is the Positive Wire. If you look at the rubber boot it has a + molded into it
