are the wires copper?

I believe they are. I cut some off and looked very carefully. It does look like copper.

They are copper, but check were the handles are welded to the cup, one of mine had a hole in it.

It sure ain't copper!....seems to be aluminum or similar light metal. I've had mine for about six months fully exposed to the elements and they're holding up fine. They do develop a layer of soot on the exterior as they burn, but you can easily wipe them clean when you refill.

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.

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.

They appear to be copper through & through. After a year's use we are still very happy with them.

It is not copper but some type of metal with a very good finish. I leave them out all summer long and they hold up very well considering the heat and rain.

These seem to be copper. I don't know if it is alloyed with other metals. However they do work well and are of very good weight and length

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.

They are not aluminum. They are tin plated copper. Will work fine with copper house wiring.

I have the product in front of me. Each of the 8 wires is solid CCA (copper clad aluminum) wire and insulated. 4 twisted pairs of 2 wires each.

I cut this wire open. It's doubled insulated. Actual copper wires are inside are probably a 16 at best may even be an 18.

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

As far as I can tell they are made of copper not stainless steel. Works great too.

No, the tiny wires are solid copper. it has 8 jacketed copper wires inside an exterior, weather proof, black jacket. The wires are Orange, Orange & White, Blue, Blue and White, Green, Green and White, Brown, Brown & White. It is for networking computers and internet connections.

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...

The answer to your question is under the product description. Each wire leg is 10" tall, and the copper plate is 1" x 2 1/2". Hope that helps.
