   It has advantages over armored building cable because it is lighter, easier to handle, and its sheathing is easier to work with. [10] Power cables use stranded copper or aluminum conductors, although small power cables may use solid conductors in sizes of up to 1/0. (For a detailed discussion on copper cables, see: Copper wire and cable.). The ...
