great for thin wire and connections

Exactly what I wanted, 18 AWG copper jacketed with steel wire. The strength of steel, difficult to stretch, and the conductivity of copper. ideal for thin, almost invisible wire antennas.

Pros
  • Rugged finish
Cons
  • Damaged

Never again! to AV accessories

This cable is CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum) compliant. I'm sure it signals as it should. but be careful, the aluminum breaks easily if the screw terminals are overtightened! For me there is only copper from now on! I gave him a 3 for saying that.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Available in black only

This is NOT 18awg. Measured and counted the number of strands, and it barely reaches 22 AWG. The jacket is also not the same as in the photo. It is loose fitting and looks more like a shrink jacket than a shaped jacket as shown in the picture.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • disappears

Looks copper on the outside

Decent cable, a bit stiff but to be expected. FYI the cable jacket is not round as it appears in the photo. Strangely magnetic - I don't know what that means - but take it as you will. From the outside it looks like copper and after cutting it looks like copper.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Good but not great

This wire is stranded, but although the wires "look" like copper in the pictures, they are just copper-coated wires. Not cool at all. I am returning this material because it is fake copper stranded wire and I don't like being misled. I've included photos of what it looks like when you rub it against sandpaper - it's silver inside (and the picture I uploaded compares it to what real copper wire looks like). I later read that a reviewer said it was "oddly magnetic" and I can confirm that the wire
