Is this copper wire, and twisted rather than solid wire?

It is copper and it is twisted. Also use the 12 gauge if you are running longer distances.

Yes it's copper wire and yes it's stranded. Make sure you are using 12 gauge if you are running longer distances. I used the 12 on a 100ft. run

When you splice them the copper colored wire is positive and the silver is negative

Wait I had the wrong package of wires. The wire is about 5 and almost 1/2 inches. inside dimension from nub to nub. 5 7/16" but the wire is twisted back about3/4" on each end where it holds the nub and will be somewhat hard to work with.

I believe what he wants to know is what the current carrying capacity of the 'wires' are.. if we know the gauge the wire this can be looked up online I would assume they are stranded wires.. there are different tables depending on weather it is stranded or solid copper wire.

connection wires are made of copper but metal strips are made of one copper and other steel!!

yes however the wire polarity may be switched so test before putting everything back together.

No, that is wrong. I use this wire with the PetSafe YardMax and it works perfectly fine. Perhaps you are confusing twisted wire with stranded wire. Twisted wire, when referring to in ground dog fences, is when two different wires (stranded or solid core) are twisted together to create a "dead spot" in your fence system.

I did that and it works fine. I used existing twisted wire and used the new solid to make a larger roaming area for my dog. My twisted is in conduit for extra protection from a digging dog.

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 wire runs side by side. I know this because when I strip the outer covering off the wire is not twisted.Don

Yes, on one of the wires the words "monster cable" is written. You decide on which polarity the "plain" side is attached, or the "monster cable" side is attached.

I bought it. The one I have is neither. It looks nickel??? I don't know metals well, but I know it's silver/nickel. It's not golden/brass coloured at all. Also the retractable wire is very thin. (to save space) it's basically a figure 8 shape, but on it's side, thin plastic... It's prone to break if you use the cable and move it around and plug/unplug it a lot. Luckily mines only for computer stuff and behind my setup, but if you have other plans for it, beware.

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.

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

Yes, it has a solid core - though the gauge of the wire isn't all that impressive. 20 Gauge solid-core wire.

I installed the wire last summer. Used 98+ ft from a 100 ft roll, ceiling mounted Bose 901's. Sound is exceptional. Cable was very flexible and certainly appeared to be all copper. Both positive and negative cable lines are copper colored but the positive is given a continuous red stripe. I have some similar cable used in an auto installation (14 or 16 GA) that is also all copper colored and very flexible. The positive line is identified with repetitive + + + +. It is pure copper as best I can tell.
