is this copper wire?

The wire that I received was copper. This is a good question and I didn't think to ask it until after I placed my order. But the wire is copper and a good quality.

Unusual question, but yes. It is wire. If your connections match voltage and current will flow.

Hello Scott,This cable does have a solid copper core and a single copper shield braid. Thank you for your question.Taylor W.VIVO

Yes it's copper wire and yes it's stranded. Make sure you are using 12 gauge if you are running longer distances. I used the 12 on a 100ft. run

The coating is plastic, and is not biodegradable. It will discolor; it may stiffen, but I don't expect it to corrode or erode. What's important is that the copper is not exposed to the elements; if you are terminating the wires outdoors, make sure you don't expose too much copper, and be sure to use outdoor-quality equipment. (I have this wire going through a hole in my basement wall above my sliding door and out to Bose outdoor speakers, below my deck. Works fine so far."

No unfortunately, they are not purely copper. I believe it is an alloy. The wire appears silver in color, thus cannot be a single conductor made of copper.

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...

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

The cable is comprised of 4 twisted pairs (8, copper clad, solid aluminum wires). The wires are NOT solid copper, rather they are copper coated aluminum. In my opinion, this cable is less expensive but inferior to solid copper cable.

No, it's not solid copper. I'm not sure of the exact material, but the manufacturer describes it as 'copper finish', and it's pretty light in weight. All said, it's held up well and has remained shiny with regular cleaning and keeping it covered while not in use. Hope that helps!

It is not solid copper. What it is, many small copper copper wires are wound to together.

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.

It is copper, but I wouldn't recommend this kit. The wire gauge is too big to fit correctly into any of the fuse holders or fittings. The fuse was defective also.

No, it's a straight piece of wire. The picture shows it with a ty wrap on it as it comes out of the box.

I installed the wire last summer. Used 98+ ft from a 100 ft roll, ceiling mounted Bose 901's. Sound is exceptional. Cable was very flexible and certainly appeared to be all copper. Both positive and negative cable lines are copper colored but the positive is given a continuous red stripe. I have some similar cable used in an auto installation (14 or 16 GA) that is also all copper colored and very flexible. The positive line is identified with repetitive + + + +. It is pure copper as best I can tell.

I emailed the company to ask them if it was CCA or pure copper. Their response to my question was: "The wire is copper, not copper clad." Best regards, VP Sales - National Sales Manager, Voltec
