You can use a coaxial cable, reveal the core, and then remove it with a knife if you notice more copper. That’s good, because the ISP likely uses a costly unnecessary coaxial cable I haven’t seen yet. It’s probably just silver wire, whether for antennas, satellites, or HFC—nobody steals it. But copper for DSL is a different matter altogether.
Is this applicable in the US? It might stem from outdated cable providers relying on older coax technology that was more costly back then, though it’s no longer advised due to modern performance issues like water damage. In the UK, I’ve only encountered solid copper coax; even budget TV cables often lack dense enough outer sheathing, but they still use solid copper cores.
everything fits perfectly, but you’re unsure about what the installation company actually uses. It doesn’t have to be entirely copper; a solid copper coating is sufficient in practice, especially if theft concerns are present. If copper theft isn’t an issue, you’re likely to see a longer-lasting installation, allowing the company to invest in higher-quality wiring for better satisfaction.
