The cable has multiple strands, perhaps about 7, and is made

I'm surprised to see that it is not made from copper, but is probably
steel. Outwardly, it looks like regular grey T&E, but is more amenable
to bending.


Sure it's not the old 7/0.29 copper which was tin plated? Have you cut it
to see if it's copper in the middle?
