Will this cable accept solder? Copper clad Aluminum ?

Yes I have soldered ring terminals onto it. You'll have to use a torch. They do sell a all copper wire to I believe. You'll get better performance out of the all copper, but for my application this worked really well. Knukonceptz have really good products. I'm using them for all future purchases.

Hello Guang, In our product description we state this cable is UPT (unshielded twiested pair) CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum). Thank you for your question. Taylor W. VIVO

If they don't say 100% copper it is ALWAYS aluminum. All you have to do is slide down the rubber cover on the clamp and scrape lightly on the exposed cable with a knife blade and you will see shiny aluminum under the very thin copper electro plating.

i can not answer 100% but at 99% I would say sure as this is only a copper interface. It the cable that passes the signal along. The coupler merely passes what goes through it.

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

It shouldn't. Plating is only a thin layer bonded to the surface of the connector.

absolutely... aluminum is soft metal. Suggest drilling a pilot hole first though.

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

The manufacturer does indicate that the tool is capable of crimping pins for wires from 30 AWG up to 18 AWG, so it should be capable of handling the connector you've specified

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

Make sure your solution is compatible with copper pipe (non corrosive) and it should work.

I would not advise that. The heat, to turn the solder paste to cured solder, would melt any coating on the ribbon cable and connector.I had a similar problem, I used Super glue to glue the tab back on to the connector.

No, it is used to melt solder which holds copper together or to hold copper to a circuit board.

I don't see why not, it works great with aluminum, all shapes, sizes and thickness.

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.

It has a SO-239 connector so it will accept any cable terminated with a PL-259 connector. RG-8X is a pretty good choice for this application.

This cable is very flexible so I don't think it will work for what you want to do with it. You can buy solid copper or aluminum ground wire in various thicknesses at your local big box hardware store like Lowes, Menards, Home Depot etc. Go to their electrical department and tell them what you need and they can spec something out that will work for you. Their garden department probably has plant stands and/or light stands that will work as well.
