[QUOTE="( . )( . ), post: 7645787, member: 619090"] OP - Great thread, I gotta say. Question though about the plastic core on the Monster. In your spreadsheet, you said the plastic had an OD of .175". Doing the math, that would come out to almost 40% of the total conductor w/ core OD (.450"). In the photo, there are 6 copper strand "ropes" that look nearly the same OD as the core. If that's even in the ballpark, that would make a really big difference with the plastic actually only being 14% of the conductor OD instead of 40%. [.475" / (6 ofc + 1 plastic) = .064"] It's been a long time, but I was wondering if you still had a piece of that Monster cable or the plastic core and could give it another measurement. I may be way off base, but it's been bothering me. If not, no sweat. Oh btw, any chance there will be a comparison of load/current carrying capacity between some of the different brands as mentioned in an earlier thread ("test 3 of 3", or something)? I have a few brands of 0awg I could send. [IMG]http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac165/spanyerd/MonsterCable1.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
