"Is this wire as stiff as a metal coat hanger or is it softer?

I thought I ordered a picture hanging wire. This wire is pretty stiff but not quite as stiff as a coat hanger. It can be bent but definitely not a soft wire.

It's larger gauge but about as stiff as a coat hanger, and it keeps its form well once you bend it.

If you are looking for something easily pliable--buy craft wire. This is not very easy to straighten. So, I would say stiffer than a coat hanger.

Yes, I would Compare the stiffness to a wire coat hangar and it"s thicker too!
1295751
Yes, maybe a bit stiffer. It wasnt easy to straighten the wire out due to its stiffness.

It is stiff solid center conductor, and probably foil shield. Easy to fish thru walls. Do not kink it....

Just so you know, and I'm not going to give a lengthy explanation as to why. The more strands of wire the better. So this cable is better than a solid copper wire would be. If you want to know why you can Google it.

This cable is quite thick, and it is therefore a bit more rigid and less flexible than regular CAT6 cable. That is to be expected, though, with the harder, stronger outer jacket. I've used it, though, both indoors and outdoors and haven't had any real issues. But, if you need to route it snugly around corners that are 90 degrees or less, it would take a bit of effort and might not be as as snug as ordinary, indoor CAT6 cable.

My guess is poly. Its pretty stiff. But does help the metal on metal "clinging"

I found it really long and super stiff... I never used it, hope that helps!

I consider it a circuit that's printed on a thin film of plastic. The combination is remarkably thin and flexible. It's not a coil of wire. It's not a stiff or thick board.

It is pretty stiff. There is a slight give because it is basically rigid and hard.

It's not stiff at all. It's very flexible. On the flip side, I've had issues with my controller not charging while plugged in, and frequent game interruptions because the PS3 thought my controller was unplugged (which it wasn't).

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

It's really stiff, I snapped it on and since then have not removed it bec Iam afraid I will break it if I do, sorry I know that's not a great answer

I purchased this wire hoping for something bendable like a paper clip. It was extremely stiff, and would probably work well as a push rod. The stuff was pretty inexpensive. Might be worth the $ to find out. Hope that helps.

It is pretty stiff. I would only use it for a utilitarian application as opposed to a clothing closure for instance. Hope that helps.

It's kind of flimsy. The wire is about the same thickness and sturdiness of a wire coat hanger. I guess that's the best guideline I can give you.

My wire stripper handles it nicely at either the 18 or 20 gauge setting, but the wire is definitely heavier than the stuff that came with my dog fence. Also, the insulation is heavier and tougher.

Thank you for this info. I need it to be more flexible than chicken wire, yet I want it to look just like it is real chicken wire. Do you know of any such material?

It's not quite as smooth around the edges as the seat belt. But it's not a stiff material at all. I would say that it is a soft webbing.

It's incredibly sturdy. I don't know that I would describe it as "flexible." It's very heavy gauge wire.
