It's twisted stainless steel with a flexible plastic coating, and it's 1/8" dia. This is a great, well-made kit. Hope this helps...

Appears to be a non-slip matte finish plastic. My guess is they have a metal core. Note: Handles are smaller than they look in the picture because the jump-cable is very slender.

It is not shielded. It is crappy cable, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. Try monoprice.com

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.

This is in the Product Description: Please note this is "commercial grade" Cat6 style cable made from pure copper, it is NOT CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum).It didn't not appear to be CCA when i used it

Not sure if it's shielded, but I have installed the cable thru our t-bar ceiling in the office. Lots of lights there and other electrical cabling - and shows no form of degradation in the signal/display

This cable differ from indoor type is that it has an extra outer thick shielding plastic coat. It is mainly to help protecting it from outdoor UV rays and heat and water. I will need to wait 2 years to tell if it is worth it.

IT IS wire covered in plastic and extremely strong. I have yet to sever it, like chains, which become unhinged.

Hi Thomas, I think it is copper. In any case the cable works well over a 100 feet in my case. The cable is buried and a lot of run off passes over the area where the cable is buried. I guess the real answer is that for me, it has worked well as an outside cable which is more than I can say for conventional cable buried in conduit.

The cable is not shielded, it's rated in/outdoor because of the material that is made to resist high temps, I use this cable to connect floors on my town home, The shielded term refers to the protection against electromagnetic interference produced by power lines, electric motors, fluorescent lights, thermostats, and electrical circuits which are found in just about everything these days. If you are running in wall near a power line you may get EMI or noise on the line. If this is for a regular use line then you should be more than fine with this cable if the run you are trying to get is critical than you should consider shielded but remember that the connector will also need to be shielded in order to take advantage of it.

Hi Kid Icarus - The cables I have are not gold plated and I do not have any issues with the quality.

It's rope/twine coated in plastic. Rather thin, but has held up for over a year without showing any signs of deterioration.

Hello Isaac,This cable is standard UL rated, but it is not Plenum rated. Thank you for your question.Taylor W.VIVO

This is a single strand wire coated with vinyl. Seems to be very strong and easy to work with. I noticed that the green color will fade in the sun to a silver grey if that matters. A braided wire would be stronger but would cost a lot more money. I made four lines from a 100 ft. package to divide the work load and this works fine!

no it's a rubber-like material, matte and smooth. the cables are flattened for some reason, they seem to tangle less

There is no plastic coating on the outside of the probe. It is metal with a braided metal shield along the length of the cable. But it is similar to a coax cable in the sense that it has a plastic dielectric which insulates the shield from the center conducting wire. It still needs to be handled with care making sure the cable does not get pinched or comes in direct contact with a very hot surface which could melt the internal dielectric. Thats what happened to my first probe. Hope this helps.

It's aluminum. It's basically plumber's tape used for duct work, though I bought it to use in my art. Great stuff. It should work for the cat. My cat did the same thing to all my Apple cords until I bought a set of 3 flat braided rope covered charging cords for under $10 on Groupon. Best purchase EVER. You might want to look for something something similar...it will look better than the aluminum. Amazon has these cords now ($8.99 set of 5 on Amazon Prime).
