Is Cadence wire CCA or OFC

[Based]

I just wired my second battery with Cadence 0g and I bought it because it said it was pure copper or w/e but I read more up on it just now and people basically say it's cca...

It is silver on the inside copper on the outside...

If this **** is really CCA and not OFC then I'm just going to order 100 feet of SHCA 1/0 awg and redo my big three and my second and third battery wiring... **** my life...

Take a knife and scrap it, if it's cca the copper will flake off and you'll see the aluminum.

its CCA. Aluminium color inside is aluminium. OFC is copper colored on the inside and sometimes silver tinned on the outside.

Cca has its place and when used properly and within its limits functions fine

Yep it cca, but there is nothing wrong with it, should be fine for what it's rated for

I run about 5k total rms with about 800 of that being class ab and i have 2 runs of pos and 2 runs of neg with a duracell agm under the hood and 2 100ah dekas in the back with a externally regulated mechman alt @15.1 and i drop to 14.2 full tilt ..so yea id run 2 runs of each .or u can run sky high 2/ 0 or 4/0 welding and run just 1 run pos and 1 neg

2 runs of pos and 2 runs of neg should be plenty the cca should be rated for 250a per 20ft so 2 runs would be 500a and if the run is not 20ft its even more amps

Well the biggest run I have is from the front pos to the back first battery pos and it's about 15 - 20 feet. right now it's one run of the cadence wire. Should I just do another run of the cca just like it then do everything else with ofc because I'm out of wire I need to order some more this coming friday so should I order 25 more feet of cadence of should I order 50 feet of sky high ofc
