Do you know what the difference is between solid wire and stranded wire cat 5 cable? Solid wire means that each one of the eight wires inside the cable consists of one solid copper wire. Solid wire cable does not flex very easily. It is best for cable wires that will not be moved. Stranded wire means that each one of the eight wires inside the cable consists of a few dozen very thin hair-like strands of wire. Stranded wire cable bends and flexes very easily. It is best for patch cables, since they need to be flexible.
