Does anyone know how much of the copper by volume they use in this cable? Thanks!

I don't know the copper by volume specifications but I would say that the cable did not have the appearance of aluminum. I bought this product for my house and have typical cable lengths around 40 ft. Applications include Cisco VOIP with video service, Skype, Dropbox and WebEx. I can't see any difference in performance from this cable to the product I purchase at Lowes and Home Depot. I've run http://www.speedtest.net/ and got expected results.

I'd have to agree with K. but i did use mine via a tube preamp. it worked well but i ended up only usingthe cable once or twice as i rather go analogue

Hey Wareren, .. ok, I took a knife too one of my connectors; though it all looks like copper, I was however, able to cut a surface layer off identifying aluminum. Weight also doesn't line up with what would the weight of 25' of copper cables. I will note, they have worked fine for the occasional use that I had need of them. I still really like the quality connectors, all the rubber, and the carrying case is of better quality than I expected. Personally at this price point & again, for what I'm using them for, I would buy again. Note: Though these are called "commercial duty", I would not buy them for commercial use!

I'd imagine the only difference would be the length of the wire. Keep in mind though that signals degrade based on the length of the wire. My 0.5 cable works flawlessly. If I needed more length I'd probably go for something gold plated.

im really not sure. i use it from cell phone and ecig charging. it seems to be very high quality. its very thick. thicker than an ethernet cable (cat45)

Thanks, I have bought 100ft mediabridge 16 gauge speaker wires. And was reading comments that for better sound quality and no loss, better to use end connectors as exposed wires can result in short circuit. I dont entirely agree with that, but wanted to confirm with people who have already installed speaker systems.

Hi there, I found out that all these cables are useless! Only the converter device worked for me! Of course I have not checked them with every equipments, but I wasted money on five or six different cables, and none of them actually worked for any degree of satisfaction! And I was too lasy to return them, mainly because I lost the track of them when I bought them and what was the name of the cable!

I used standard 16 gauge which ran about 25 ft per speaker. They are rears. If you really want to go all out, try Monster Cable.

You want to buy the lowest-gauge wire that is pure copper (or at least majority)...this will ensure the best sound for these. Make sure to bi-amp these the rear terminals and your receiver, as long as Your receiver has the capability. That also increases the full usage of these beasts of speakers. 10 - 18 awg gauge wire is your range, with 10 being the best as long as you get quality...read the reviews, there is some bad wire out there that claims to be 10 - 12 gauge but is not. And to be clear, these will not directly plug into your iPad. You must use your receiver for both

I use High Performance OFC connecting cables-2 TRS on one side the other XLR's which I made up! Guitar cables are Great! Your ears will pick up the Difference..I connect the XLR's to a power amp then out into the Virtualizer pro DSP2024P-Preset settings on the Virtualizer: I:O73 TUBE AMP! This Creates a Giant Stereo Smack with Clarity = MID BASS & TREBLE & the Levels are Way up to 0.5db & of coarse the CD recorder to lift the Levels to that Mark. I hope this was helpful to complete your Music Workmenship, God Bless ya Bruce & have a Great Week.

Hi there! The PureAV cable is rated for 75 ohms since it's an RG6 construction.

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.

Either the plug isn't in far enough or you have a bad solder joint. How you can easily tell if its a bad solder joint is by moving the cable around a lot. If at any time the volume gets louder then you know its a bad solder joint.

I honestly don't know, but the wire they give you is a really small gauge and most audiophiles will tell you to get something bigger. I think I ended up buying 16 or 14 gauge.

I am not sure, but I have found the tech assistance at this provider (Wilson) to be very good. I would guess the answer is yet, because the copper core of this product does not care what type of wavelength it is carrying or what it is used for, it just transmits a wave length over the surface of the copper. So I would guess at yes, if the connectors are the same, but this is a guess. It is a good shielded cable and the connectors are great, but it has to match what you have.
