Easy answer, It is made from the same medal i.e.: copper braid (double braid) with silver coating on both. NO tin foil to rub on the brad and make it get crackle. I use to use 9913 till I saw the light. Of Crosse the RG-214/u lists for about $5.50 per foot. Wholesale is much cheaper. Better jumpers. Try it you'll like it! 73 Russ, W3CH
