Is the wire a special type of wire or typical stranded copper?

Wire is coated. Cannot see the wires. The probe is metal. Possibly stainless steel.

The wire from the meter to the probe is a very flexible insulated copper wire. If your referring to the probe material that goes into the ground, that appears to be stainless steel with an insulated tip of a dissimilar metal to generate a potential difference, this is read out as a percentage of moisture.

not sure if a tinned wire is any silver colored core wire . could look at the wire...to see if it is bare copper and it looks like it is bare copper so it may not be tinned. the wether proof must refer to the gasket around the plug that fits quite well.

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.

It's pretty simple a hard wire crimped inside a metal tube. I'm not sure how they can be different other than composition.

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

Can't say for certain. The manufacturer's web site does not state the metal used for the wires. From the cord I have, it seems heavy enough to have been made of copper -- and looking at the semi-translucent ends -- it looks like the wires are copper. But I can't say so with absolute certainty. I note that the manufacturer's web site shows approval by a huge number of standards organizations -- so if you look up the UL specs, it may state the wire used. Of course, you can contact the manufacturer (Conntek) and ask them...

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.

I haven't tried any conductor smaller than #14 AWG (stranded), but the Coppermine stripped it and everything else I ran thru it wonderfully.

There are several differences between the 2 and I will list the a few. 1.Stranded wire is used in the situations where need a great deal of flexibility, while solid wire should be used when strength and rigidity is required. 2.Solid wire is much cheaper compared with stranded wire. Stranded wire is made of multiple strands of wire and solid wire is made of just one wire.

The thing that everyone else here is missing is that stranded wire is also best for applications where you are transmitting higher frequency as high frequency AC signals will only pass through the center of the wire, in strand wire you have many strands which mitigates the effect. but for the most part, yeah what they said, mostly solid wire is superior for stationary applications and especially good if you are using it for breadboards/protoboards/electronics hobby stuff. Strand wire is better able to cope with repeated flexing.

I made mine with just a regular wire from an engineering kit I had. It has a hole designated for the antenna, it's not the coil some people see and wrap a wire around it, haha.

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...

It works exactly as a copper line. It's like the lead pipe but in PVC which is way more convenient.

I think you want to know if the wire is solid core or stranded wire. It is solid core. Which means one solid copper wire. If you mean one spool of wire, then no, it is several different colors.

Stranded wires are made up of small strands of wire, while solid wire is made from a single strand of wire. Stranded wire is more flexible than single strand wire. Stranded wire can be moved over and over. Solid core will tend to break if it is moved repeatedly. In hook up wire, there is almost no difference in the current carrying ability between stranded and non stranded. In larger wires it can. Think of it this way: an an extension cord is made from stranded wire, whereas the wire used in building construction is single strand. Extension cards can be easily moved. You wouldn't move the wire in the wall of a house. Stranded wires are made up of small strands of wire, while solid wire is made from a single strand of wire.

It's been several years since I installed my kit, so I don't remember what the wire looks like. I remember that when I bought them, the seller said the wires were aluminum coated copper. Although I don't have any way to verify. That being said, it is a quality set of cables, powering a 1200 watt 2-channel with no issues since installation 3+ years ago.

Eh, it's not the most flexible stuff I've ever used, but it's not that stiff either. It's about on par with any other low count stranded when it comes to flexibility. In general, the higher the strand count the more flexible the wire. Wire with silicon insulation is usually much more flexible as well. This stuff is nowhere near 'wet noodle' soft, but it can still be bent easily enough.
