As opposed to 'fake' copper wire?

Most all copper wire on the market is soft draw and will break after a few
years of constant tension. Hard draw copper wire is very tough and robust.
I use 18g lamp safety wire. This is the thin copper wire that servers as
a safety ground and as a safety wire in case a link in the lamp chain
breaks in hanging chandeliers.


I have 50' of thin braided copper wire from Home Depot that's been
under constant tension for 6 years 9 months. Enough tension to
deflect the top of a 20' support (two fence rails, a spike base and a
building clamp at 9') 2 to 3 inches.
