Are these cables pure copper?

I believe they are advertised as such. I used it to wire my wall speakers from the amp under the bar, and the sound is great. No distortions I have yet to experience. Of course it helps to have quality speakers as well.

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

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

Yes they are. I checked them with a lead testing kit and they are fine. I love my set!

I haven't stripped one of the wires down to see personally, but it's in the description and the text that it is pure copper and not CCA.

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.

While I would have to destroy my own cable to really find out, I'm reasonably sure it is probably a stranded copper wire. I can't imagine it would be otherwise but I'm not 100% positive.

The wire that I received was copper. This is a good question and I didn't think to ask it until after I placed my order. But the wire is copper and a good quality.

No, just pure copper.....but if you're buying it for Ayurvedic purposes, that's all you want. Once you get used to the pureness of a noncontaminatory metal, anything with a liner is just nasty ;-)....but that's just my two coppers.

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.

The cables are bare wound wire and are NOT insulated. However, the cables are safe because of the low voltage and low current (12 VAC from a small power supply).

Doesn't look like copper to me, but you can find out by going to the manufacturers website.

Hello Guang, In our product description we state this cable is UPT (unshielded twiested pair) CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum). Thank you for your question. Taylor W. VIVO

Can't say for certain. The manufacturer's web site does not state the metal used for the wires. From the cord I have, it seems heavy enough to have been made of copper -- and looking at the semi-translucent ends -- it looks like the wires are copper. But I can't say so with absolute certainty. I note that the manufacturer's web site shows approval by a huge number of standards organizations -- so if you look up the UL specs, it may state the wire used. Of course, you can contact the manufacturer (Conntek) and ask them...

Yes they are, and I think I know why you ask. One of mine was corroded when I pulled it out of wrapper. It really messed up one of my gigs because I assumed since it was brand new, it couldnt be the source of the sound problems I was having. After the gig, I unscrewed the cable ends and they just crumbled apart.So, really I cant recommend these cables.

I honestly have no idea if they are solid copper strands or copper coated aluminum. I am not about to strip the rubber off to find out! They are awesome heavy duty cables though that I have had many compliments on them helping people out with a jump. They're Aces in my deck of cards!
