Is it CCA, stranded copper, or solid copper?

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 is copper and it is twisted. Also use the 12 gauge if you are running longer distances.

Yes, this is copper hook-up wire. That means the wire is tinned - solid copper with a thin outer layer of tin, before the outer layer of insulation. It is not a copper alloy as Phillip stated.

It's copper. After using for a couple months, the outside surface needs polishing like other copper pieces I own. Responds to copper cream the same as any other copper pot from different brands. The price is lower because these seem to not be brand new - mine had scratches on the bottom when I took them out of the box (maybe a floor model from store?), but they are copper.

Usually it's white pcb, some times it's copper, that's the ones I'be bought.

Definitely more copper. It's a nice piece. If you are using it outdoors make sure to drill holes for drainage it the bottom.

16 gauge copper core stranded, also check out Ugly's even master electricians carry this in their bag. Ugly's Electrical References, 2011 Edition

Stranded wire is multiple smaller diameter strands wrapped together to form wire. It's more flexible. Solid core is one wire. It's easier for breadboarding and more durable. Personally I like stranded better. Unless I'm breadboarding

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

The CCA makes it to where this is aluminum wire stranded that is wrapped in copper. It's a lot thicker but cheaper than the same load of wire made of solid or stranded copper. it's also quite flexible. It says it's Rated for 250A load @ 20' so you need to decide on the load you're trying to pull with this wire and the run of it as well.

Hi Kevin, I recommend you try our CABLE-V010: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CA2X5W6. It's a full copper cable. The CCA cable my get hot when running power over it instead of just data. However, a full copper cable handles power with no issue at all. Let me know if you have any more questions! Thank you, Taylor W. VIVO

Not sure, but I believe they are solid copper - one of the threaded holes stripped out too easy to be steel.

Not sure of the exact weight of the Cu, but it is quite adequate for TTL logic. I always do a Sn plate over the Cu. It keeps the Cu from oxidising, improves power dissipation and makes the board look cool. A warm sol of fresh undiluted FeCl3 takes about 15 min. to dissolve the unneeded Cu.

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 think the confusion come from what appears to be a heavy copper coating that make it difficult to tell. I took a quick look at it after it was delivered and thought to myself that it was solid copper and it wasn't until someone else posted that it was copper clad aluminum (CCA) that I actually took a very close look at it and discovered that up close it indeed does look like it is CCA.

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

I'd go with 12ga. There's a plastic tube in the middle of each conductor so actual copper is probably 14ga.
