Are these cables solid copper? The product description says they are, but a reviewer says they are not.

I have to disagree with the other comment. I'd say they are solid copper, my set does weigh close to 20 lbs. no matter what they are , I can say for sure they are the best cables I have ever used.

Not copper it's alumn with copper on it. but it does the job , actually if you check the overhead power by PG&E; most of them are pure alumn and they are permanent this you only use in a few seconds so what's the concern of having pure copper if it will only drive the cost like 3x or more.

No they are not. They are copper plated aluminum wire, the jaws are solid copper. If these were 100% copper they would be a great deal at $100. Copper is three times as dense as aluminum and costs about 5 times as much per pound. If these were all copper you would have about $60 in raw copper(at by the truckload prices) and they would weigh close to 20lbs also.

I don't have the box anymore so I cannot answer completely. I do believe they are "heavy-duty" as I've used them and are happy with them. Sorry I cannot completely answer the question. I do think it's a good product and would recommend.

It is solid copper. We have used them a couple of times and they look great. We handwash them and will continue to do so. I'm very pleased with this product!

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

The clamp s are covered so I can't see the wire but the weight seems consistent with solid copper. Also comes in a big plastic carrying case. These are really heavy cables like I wanted.

Mine are all copper and they taste like copper too. I think you can get stainless or copper ones. These appear to have been a think gage round copper wire that's been hammered flat in the middle and curled up at the ends for grip

I received cables that were copper coated aluminum. Apparently after getting good reviews they started to get cheap like the other sets they sell.

They are real nice cables and even with a red clear cover I can't tell if they are copper or not. Because of the silver color I see through the covering I would guess at the material. The ends are all heat shrink I can't tell anything.

I don't *think* so. I'm not sure, but the copper does tarnish a bit, which is what I would expect if they were not coated.

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.

they are genuine fender cables. i got them, and they may have went through other marketers,such as amazon, but it is a fender cable.

Don't know. Didn't put them in the oven but I would assume they are,they're copper. I wouldn't advise picking them up right away with your bare hands.

Hi Kid Icarus - The cables I have are not gold plated and I do not have any issues with the quality.

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

It's been several years since I installed my kit, so I don't remember what the wire looks like. I remember that when I bought them, the seller said the wires were aluminum coated copper. Although I don't have any way to verify. That being said, it is a quality set of cables, powering a 1200 watt 2-channel with no issues since installation 3+ years ago.

I am not absolutely positive, but from the looks of them I believe they are copper plated steel. Usually solid copper is too soft, so ours would show some wear since they have been used several times, but they look like new.

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
