Anyone know the Weight of the C&amp;E 100ft 14AWG spool of Copper Wire?

According to the shipping weight the 14 gauge is 5 lbs and the 12 gauge is 6 lbs.

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.

I used the wire to stiffen a 7 foot deer fence around our property. I used aluminum crimping sleeves once I had looped the wire around each of the fence poles. I used a crimping tool that you can buy on Amazon to squeeze the sleeves. I think they are just saying that they do not rate the wire to hold any significant weight overhead. I would imagine a 1/16 wire could fatigue. Just a guess as it was not applicable for my application.

The comment below is absolutely right I believe its a 14 gauge wire the same size or bigger is the best.

American Wire Guage, thickness of copper wire - the higher the number the less it can handle... and the thinner the strands are... average electric cord wire for say a 75-125 watt lamp is 18awg

Mine was a 3/4 weight but handles a 5 wt line nicely. A 4wt line would work nice also.

I don't know the gauge of the wire but it doesn't seem to be high quality. They're very basic, but I already anticipated that and bought some wire separately for about $30. Heres what I bought and it works great: C&E 100 Feet 14AWG Enhanced Loud Oxygen-Free Copper Speaker Wire Cable, CNE62761

don't see the wire gauge in product specs but it appears to be heavy gauge and it is rated at 15A so can handle pretty good load. regards,

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.

The pic is different than the spool I received. "Mine says LEAD FREE SOLDER WIRE Size Sn99.3 Cu0.7 Dia 1.0mm", and the spool is green.

Making something completely solid, at 0.05 lbs per cubic inch, you get about 44 cubic inches in a 2.2 lb spool. So, if you buy one for $44, it's about $1/cubic inch. You never really make a completely solid part, even with 100% fill.

Yes, the one I received was 14 gauge. I've been happy with the purchase and use it for my electric lawn mower with no problems.

The clamp s are covered so I can't see the wire but the weight seems consistent with solid copper. Also comes in a big plastic carrying case. These are really heavy cables like I wanted.

The single strand of wire measures about 18 gauge. It is rated for 50 pounds working load.

Not sure of the exact weight but this is way heavier then my dewalt saw. Not something you want over head for long periods of time.

This is a Solid core wire with two 500 feet rolles. I think the gauge is like 14 or 16. The best quality is that one that you get with this company.

The weight of the entire dryer including cord and plug was 1.6+ lbs. on my kitchen food scale. Hope that helps.
