Is the wire insulation a semi-flexible plastic, like vinyl or PVC? Or is it a more flexible rubber, like silicone or neoprene?

I have these, and near as I can tell they are plastic insulated. Definitely not rubber, Si, or neoprene.

Doesn't seem like vinyl or PVC - just typical multi-tester leads like the originals - which got broken and dangerous to use. That's why I replaced them.

The cords are tight elastic, with metal tips for insertion. The holders are clear and flexible plastic, possibly polyvinyl chloride. I still have mine from 2011, and it has not changed.

Confirmed! There are tubes that are a flexible type of material. Whether its rubber, I do not know...

It's fairly flexible after curing, like plastic. It's less hard and not nearly as brittle as most epoxies. It's very, very tough and difficult to break under bending forces. But that said, it's still VERY solid. I would not describe it as rubbery.

I'd say it's like a flexible plastic. Not as stretchy or bouncy as rubber, but also not so stiff that it would crack or chip if dropped.

The wire is insulated; however, the wire is very thin. You can easily replace it with larger insulated wire from home store.

Rigid plastic, probably PVC. Seems strong & durable after several month's use.

Aluminum I belive. Some good things is that it's true 8 gauge and very flexible wire .

I believe it is a flexible wire that plugs into the back. I bought this as a gift.

Plastic with metal wire core. Worked perfectly for my application at my office!

It is 100% plastic, but it is as strong as wire, I use it all around my farm because wire fencing is too heavy and hard to cut and put up ( plus more expensive). It keeps my shetland ponies in and my Giant dog out of the pony pasture, and neighbors's yard. I have had some up since 2002 and it is just as strong and flexible ( and no color fade ), as the roll I just bought recently. I also use Tenax deer fence and hex (in place of chicken wire), and millennium fence on my farm.

Well, I am not sure if it is rubber, but it is a velvety smooth composite, not plastic. It is very soft to the touch and keeps the dryer from slipping in your hand or off the counter.

This product is described as a Weather resistant polyester with PVC lining. It looks like vinyl from the outside. The lining feels like canvas underneath. The texture feels durable to me and can withstand the elements. I bought this as a replacement cover. I had the first one for nearly a decade until I finally needed to replace it.

I is a flexible rubber or plastic material. It almost feels like a sealant or composite.

If you look at the swann.com website the listing for the wire says that it is double shielded and weather resistant. Hope this helps.

No, not silicone. I'd like to have some silicone-insulated wire myself and have looked around. Very expensive. This is just ordinary hook-up wire.

It is flexible rubber. They are a bit stiff when brand new, but soften up pretty fast and are very flexible.
