Is this line plastic coated wire, or nylon? - What is the max workload?

I believe it's plastic-coated wire. I don't know the workload offhand, it's been up for a few years, and hasn't let me down yet. I hang ALL my laundry on it all winter near the woodstove, except really heavy items like rugs or husband's heavy work coat.

I used this wire for an electronic dog fence. It is buried in my yard and has not been harmed by any of the elements.

This is multi-stranded picture-hanging wire with a soft vinyl coating. Wire and coating measure about 1/16th of an inch or about 2 mm. Tomorrow, I can measure the exact diameter with a digital calipers and send you the data. Hope this is helpful to you. H. Slovic

Yes absolutely. It's a heavy gauge steel wire dipped in a rubber coating. That's actually what I'm using it for.

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 would say that depends on the type of plastic ? yes for HDPE ! yes for PVC, yes for PE .For fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) ????

Yes. It is the line itself. The company told me that the material is bio degradable so it will stick together and cause the line not to feed. Seems to me they should do something about it since they give you lifetime replacement on the line spools. (you have to pay shipping)

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.

I am running gigabit Ethernet error free on a 150 foot run of this stuff. I have also done POE over the cable. The high frequency energy for the gbe signalling only travels on the outside surface (the skin) of the conductor, so the fact that it is copper clad is a non issue for performance. The only possible issue is DC resistance, and that would matter only if you are doing POE with a load more than 6W, at a distance more than 200 feet from the POE source. The reason this is copper cad aluminium is to save money and weight.

I am surprised that users and sellers alike are recommending that you can use the embedded wire to ground your hose. That defies all the laws of electricity! Plastic is an insulator. The problem we are trying to solve is the build-up of static electricity within the hose. A wire isolated from the static environment (inside of the hose) by insulation (the plastic it is embedded in) cannot possibly stream off any electrical charge! It has to be bare within the environment. That is why the manuals from Jet, Grizzly, etc. say to use a BARE wire inside the hose. Otherwise, they would say to use ANY wire. You have, in effect, the equivalent of an insulated wire laid inside your hose! Useless!

from the Kregtool website, it is Glass-Filled Nylon. I have found it to be very strong and does not flex when in use. See https://www.kregtool.com/store/c13/kreg-jigsreg/p36/kreg-jigreg-k5/

It was one spool of 1000 feet, it is heavy guage. I do believe it was 18guage wire

My wire is 18 gauge. The wire gauge doesn't matter as there isn't any current going through it. The coating on the outside needs to be able to be buried (ground contact wire) which this is. there isn't any stress on the wire so it doesn't need to be thick, thicker wire will be harder to use when installing. Bottom line don't worry about this wire. I installed this wire 15 years ago and only just needed to do it again since we re-landscaped our yard and tore up the old wire. I figured new wire was better than a bunch of splices. good luck.

Its really small wire. Probably 24g. I had a really hard time splicing it. But if you strip about 2 to 3 times more than you need you can just did the wire to make it thicker

Hard to say. The craftsmanship of the product is brilliant, but under h20? Thick vinyl coating coats entire wire unless ends are exposed to moisture then rust or corrosion will occur. What of project are you considering it for?

I want to know if this worked for the cage material, I am doing similar projects. I use vinyl coated 16ga wire hardware mesh to make small animal cages. What worked for you? Thanks, I appreciate any advice.

A buyer back on May 11 scraped one of the wires to discover that they are indeed aluminum wire with copper cladding. I am answering this because this fact is not stated in the tech detail section of the listing. I was hoping to get copper wire in this price range, but it looks I'll need a time machine first.
