Is this a solid copper core/center cable? "18AWG Solid Copper Center Conduction" Dish Network approved??

Yes it is solid copper. It can be used for dish network, however, it is not officially dish network approved.

No, this is the CCS Copper Clad Steel. Perfect Vision Model ULPVRG6BLK. If you want the SCC SOLID COPPER CORE Conductor search for: B00PJBU4VK

It is directv approved which encompasses the Dish Network range of cable. Dish used coppoer clad and anything solid copper is better so it is better than. Either way it will work fine if you are using it for dish network.

Thank you SG; I mistakenly thought this was the copper core, not the aluminum. Everything else you stated is spot on though. Thanks for the help!

No sir. This is Dish Network. 2 major competitors are highly unlikely to make their equipment compatible with eachother.

Each of the 8 wires is solid: copper clad aluminum in plastic insulation. The there are 4 pairs of wire, with each pair being twisted together (standard CAT5e cable)

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

I would advise against it, as this particular product is CCA wiring. That means copper clad aluminum. It is not solid copper. That means degraded performance and not true Cat5e. This is especially a problem as you get closer to the range limit of true Cat5e (100M or 328ft). I would look for Cat5e that is advertised as solid copper and UL Verified for professional use (Using CCA in a commercial setting would be considered highly unprofessional). If you are using this for your home, it is your choice but I still don't recommend it. I would also like to add if you still really, really want to use CCA you can find it cheaper than this (about $40). Solid copper Cat5e costs about $75-$80, making this particular CCA cable an even worse choice because you're not even saving any money.

I'm not sure what the problem may be. Also, you shouldn't be using composite cables anyways. The quality is horrible. Even S-Video would be a better option. Unless you meant to say you're using component cables.Also, the S doesn't mean silver in the case. Go to the TX-SR806 product page. Look at the photos, one of the photos which I uploaded has a Serial # with the S. Please check it out.

A buyer back on May 11 scraped one of the wires to discover that they are indeed aluminum wire with copper cladding. I am answering this because this fact is not stated in the tech detail section of the listing. I was hoping to get copper wire in this price range, but it looks I'll need a time machine first.

When I purchased this wire, I read a lot of reviews, and some of these reviews contained claims that the wire was copper plated aluminum. I got this wire from SatMaximum. They claimed it to be copper in the ad, but I see that they must have started over with the ad, because there are only 3 reviews on this new ad, which makes no claim either way on its composition. Overall I am happy with the product, although it does appear to have a silvery core, which may be aluminum...

If you're going to use Aluminum SER (Service Entrance Rated) cable, be advised it's thick and harder to work with than copper but available at your big orange box store. I spent a lot of time looking into this and without getting technical, I went with 1/0. Google "Allowable Ampacities of Insulated Conductors" and remember that you can't necessarily look to the 90 degree column and that inspectors will re-rate, or reduce the allowed amperage based on other factors. For my short run to me it was better to go bigger and be sure.

I emailed the company to ask them if it was CCA or pure copper. Their response to my question was: "The wire is copper, not copper clad." Best regards, VP Sales - National Sales Manager, Voltec

Standard RG6 coax is the normal cable for satellite and cable TV. Most is rated 70 ohm and swept tested to 2200Mhz. The stuff you can find on Amazon or your local big box store is going to work just fine. The maximum run is 200 ft for this type of dish before it has signal issues.

I didn't I simply can't afford all copper wiring. Consequently, such cables made with copper clad aluminum conductors do not have a valid safety listing and cannot be legally installed into areas of buildings which require CM, CMG, CMX, CMR or CMP rated cables.The CDA also expressed safety and performance concerns over the proliferation of non-compliant copper clad aluminum conductors for certain data cable applications.The applicable industry standards, which require solid copper conductors for multi-conductor communications cables, are the National Electrical Code (current and older versions), UL 444, and TIA 568C.2.The National Electrical Code (Section 800.179) states that "Conductors in communications cables, other than in a coaxial cable, shall be copper." UL 444, Standard for Communications Cable (Section 5.1.1) states that "The conductors shall be solid or stranded, annealed, bare or metal-coated copper."UL444 compliance is a basic requirement for any communications cable to receive fire/safety ratings from Underwriters Laboratories or other nationally recognized test laboratories.

Don't know, I purchased to work with Dish. Why would you consider Direct as it's labeled for Dish?

Hello John,I like Salt Miner's answer.I would say, the cable meets the performance specifications of Cat5e using CCA. Thank you for your question.Sincerely,Taylor W.VIVO

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. I am also wiring for Directv. They require RG6, which this is. Have fun!
