Is this compatible with aluminum and/or copper wires?

You should check your local and state electrical codes, aluminum electrical wiring is considered a fire hazard. The Pass & Seymour website states; "Use this device with copper or copper clad wire, Do not use with aluminum wire."

Wires have all been made of copper for the past 50-60 years. Prior to that there have been different mixtures involving aluminum but there's no such thing as being incompatible just because its a different metal.

Yes it should work just fine. I use it on tiny 18 gauge (1/4" and smaller) wires.

I bought this but didn't use it.It is copper clad aluminum, not solid copper.

The 901 is not very sensitive to different types of wire. Any flat wire of quality copper or silver will work just fine.

It is compatible, my only concern is the quaity of the wires and their ability to last under heavy usage. These wires are thinner than I would have expected given it designated use.

I'm not sure what wire that system uses, but this wire is a single stran of copper wire. It worked great for my invisible fence system.

worked great for me and my wire was not coated --- probably doesn't matter. Make sure your wire size and anchor size match.

This is copper clad aluminum... Not quite as high quality. You may want to look at the Ethernet standers.. I believe it only goes about 300 ft.

I don't believe so....the only connection method is spring type connectors standard to most audio equipment. These connectors accept a + and - bare copper wire end.

Not sure what its compatible with but don't waste your money! I bought it and the wire broke within two days so I had to throw it out. I taped it and it still kept breaking. It's garbage.

It has copper. I used it for a CCTV system and had no problems. Good quality cable.

THERE IS NO COPPER IN THESE WIRES, not sure what it is. See my review below.

The answer to your question Susan is yes it will (should for sure if you clip on the copper wire)...at least I can not see why it would not ...JT

I can't say officially, but the metal is not too thin. I'd guess as much as a 12 AWG wire could handle would be fine. They're cheap enough you can just test one to failure and report your results.

SK7's answer is very good. Also be sure there is ample bare copper wire inside the wire nuts (to make good contact wire to wire) and that they are screwed tight.

I didn't see it mentioned but almost for sure no. Look for dome transitioning solution to bond the al with cu before the wire nut

yes it's probably perfectly capable of being that kind of wire if I were you I would make sure it's the right size, same guts.. then if you are brave you can splice the wires. If you don't wanna damage anything I suggest just buying a longer connector. I checked my 18 gauge wire and the molex wires in my tower and they look the same. Now you just got to see if the molex guts are copper, Just to play it safe. But that's no fun. I say try it and cover the wires with Elec. Tape. WootenburgGood luck
