I understand the wire is stranded but are the individual strands made out of solid copper as it appears in the picture?

yes , copper is the best conductor of electricity ,and that is what is used most of the time , and also in this application .

No. It's in the product description. They are copper clad aluminum. "High-strand count (0.254mm x 26 strands) copper clad aluminum conductors"

Stranded wires are made up of small wires wrapped together that for the overall thickness (i.e. gauge) of the wire. Solid wires are made of a single wire of the specified thickness. Stranded wires, because they are made from smaller wires wrapped together, are usually more flexible than solid wires.

Hi, the wire we offer is stranded wire; 19-strands. Here are the specs:PV Wire, Single-Insulated 10AWG, 19-Strand 600VDC, UL4703, 90C Wet or Dry, Lead Free with genuine Multi-Contact MC4 Connectors. Made in the USA.ShopAkari

Under plastic coating it is a twisted stranded wire. It is a great wire for speakers.

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!

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.

The actual wire is in a shielded mesh outer casing. It looks and feels like ropes you would use climbing a mountain. The overall thickness is similar to an 8 guage wire, but I could tell you what the actual guage of the wire unless I cut one open. I hooked it up between a 32" LCD TV and cable box and the picture and sound are great.

Stranded wires are made up of small strands of wire, while solid wire is made from a single strand of wire. Stranded wire is more flexible than single strand wire. Stranded wire can be moved over and over. Solid core will tend to break if it is moved repeatedly. In hook up wire, there is almost no difference in the current carrying ability between stranded and non stranded. In larger wires it can. Think of it this way: an an extension cord is made from stranded wire, whereas the wire used in building construction is single strand. Extension cards can be easily moved. You wouldn't move the wire in the wall of a house. Stranded wires are made up of small strands of wire, while solid wire is made from a single strand of wire.

These cables are solid strand twisted copper wire,good grade of cable if compaired with the cables that are available at the auto parts store and at a much better price.

The cables are multi-strand copper conductors, and appear to be copper or copper clad jaws. The spring mechanism for the jaws uses a steel spring.

I believe what he wants to know is what the current carrying capacity of the 'wires' are.. if we know the gauge the wire this can be looked up online I would assume they are stranded wires.. there are different tables depending on weather it is stranded or solid copper wire.

Looks like just copper to me....it works very well..buy it you won't regret ...

Yes, all three wires are made of copper and are individually insulated. There is heavy insulation in the cable which makes it thick. My only concern with using it with a 120 volt portable generator would be to make sure your chosen plug and receptacle can handle a thick cord.

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 made mine with just a regular wire from an engineering kit I had. It has a hole designated for the antenna, it's not the coil some people see and wrap a wire around it, haha.

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
