Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

RE: Yes, but

The jackets are NOT 'vacuum sealed'...and DO admit air.

And besides? The concern is at the ENDSs where they are exposed / crimped or under the odd wire nut in the J-Boxes in your house.....

And yes, give it long enough and starting at the clipped ends, the conductors inside the jacket WILL oxidize.

The real question is? Why WOULDN'T they?

If I could add a drawing I don't want to make in the FIRST place? you'd see that a bundle of wires has spaces between the round conductors in which air travles the LENGTH of the cable.....
Too much is never enough
