Is this cable solid copper wire.

No, it's CCA "copper clad aluminum". The description didn't state this so I ordered it thinking it was....disappointed to say, it's NOT solid copper.

Yes, but it is NOT telephone cable. The box is labeled "Alarm Cable" when I assumed it was telephone cable. So I asked for a refund but NO reply. It would cost me $20+ to return it for a $30 credit.

It is solid wire and it can be used for telephone wire. Telephone wire is normally 22 or 24 Ga. Solid is better for connections than stranded.

I bought the same wire and I'm planning on using it through out my house for all my phone jack.

Yes, this is copper hook-up wire. That means the wire is tinned - solid copper with a thin outer layer of tin, before the outer layer of insulation. It is not a copper alloy as Phillip stated.

If they don't say 100% copper it is ALWAYS aluminum. All you have to do is slide down the rubber cover on the clamp and scrape lightly on the exposed cable with a knife blade and you will see shiny aluminum under the very thin copper electro plating.

Yes it is solid not stranded wire. I imagine stranded wire could be used along as it had some good insulation made for in ground installation. I imagine the insulation around the wire is the most important part of the whole thing and solid core is cheaper to produce.

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.

Unusual question, but yes. It is wire. If your connections match voltage and current will flow.

Not sure. All I have ever used is solid. However, wouldn't think it would work since most connectors like that only us solid wire. To tell you the truth this connector type was a real pain to put on. I like the old style that didn't allow the wire to go all the way through the connector.

It is pure copper. Also, please look closely at the picture. It is pretty clear.

No, it is stranded wire, but can't remember the gauge. I've used it for many projects and have found that is capable of handling at least 3 amps current.

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!

Hello Joseph, In the product description we mention that the cable is unshielded twisted pure copper. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you, Taylor W. VIVO

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

The way it feels and flexes, I would say it's copper. I really don't know but it says that it's no. 8 wire so I think it is. Can't the manufacturer be asked? I really don't know for sure. If you find out, can you tell me please? It works fine on my welding machine.

absolutely, but its not monster cable, more like light lamp cord 18 gauge wire

Hello Hoosierdoodles,The cable has both aluminum and copper conductors. It's about 85-90% aluminum and the rest is copper.Thank you for your question.Taylor W.VIVO

Solid is higher quality wire than stranded. I wouldn't mess with stranded at all. The individual wire in CAT5/6 is so small to begin with, I wouldn't trust stranded.
