Insulated Copper Wire

Insulated copper wire is covered in a coating, which is usually plastic. It will be priced according to the amount of coating in comparison to copper.

Types
#1  - Copper is a thick single strand. If the copper is braided it must be thicker than the lead of a pencil.
Example:
Household Electrical Wire

#2 - Insulated wire that goes down to 20 gauge and wiring that has a minimal amount of copper in comparison to coating and other attachments such as plastic or glass.
Example:
Extension Cords, Automotive Wire, Ethernet, Communication Wire, Christmas Lights  

Tips:
For a large price increase, if it is possible, remove the coating before bringing in the wire. If it's clean, the wire will become either Copper #1 or #2 depending on the thickness.
