No, the tiny wires are solid copper. it has 8 jacketed copper wires inside an exterior, weather proof, black jacket. The wires are Orange, Orange & White, Blue, Blue and White, Green, Green and White, Brown, Brown & White. It is for networking computers and internet connections.

No, the kit is Copper Coated Aluminum, meaning that they are aluminum strands that are copper plated. The cables are both 0 AWG (1/0).

It sure ain't copper!....seems to be aluminum or similar light metal. I've had mine for about six months fully exposed to the elements and they're holding up fine. They do develop a layer of soot on the exterior as they burn, but you can easily wipe them clean when you refill.

Yes It is hard anodized Aluminum with a Titanium based coating. I love my set. Economical and works well, good heat distribution.

It is not copper clad alum..it worked great for us at a distance of almost 200 ft. I found this to be the best priceon net.

Not at all. It believe it is brass coated copper. I am very satisfied with it. The washers are Delta and are very common part found at Home Depot and Lowes.

I'm not sure, if it is copper it has been tinned or has some other type of coating

I'm not sure, but looks like gold aluminum. Works great and was a very good add-on for the price.

There is no doubt in my mind that it is copper. I've worked with copper wires all my life and I know it when I see it. You can purchase it with confidence.

Thank you SG; I mistakenly thought this was the copper core, not the aluminum. Everything else you stated is spot on though. Thanks for the help!

They are not aluminum. They are tin plated copper. Will work fine with copper house wiring.

Nope, it's aluminized (a layer of shiny aluminum) over steel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminized_steel

Yes, it appears to be. I've been using it for over a year now, and I have every reason to believe it is 100% copper.

If you read the description then you would know. Its copper clad aluminium. 90% aluminium and 10% copper.

The coating is plastic, and is not biodegradable. It will discolor; it may stiffen, but I don't expect it to corrode or erode. What's important is that the copper is not exposed to the elements; if you are terminating the wires outdoors, make sure you don't expose too much copper, and be sure to use outdoor-quality equipment. (I have this wire going through a hole in my basement wall above my sliding door and out to Bose outdoor speakers, below my deck. Works fine so far."

It is too heavy to be aluminum, but it looks more like powder coated steel than stainless. I've had mine a couple of months and it still looks good and I like it a lot, but I see potential for it to rust at the welds.
