If it is real solid sliver, can I make some bling bling out of it?

Is there really that much of a difference between 99.99 and 99.999 and 99.9995 or whatever....

5000 feet of .020 {24 awg} solid silver with PTFE is $3475.00
Shipping is around $25.00.
The overall od with the PTFE is approx. .0225


is 0.0025 thick enough or should we get a slightly thicker coating?

CBMC-

you can go to the calfinewire.com website and lookup the technical data sheet... i don't know how to calculate the resistance...... i think it is also going to depend on solder type used and connectors used

As they say, the thicker the teflon the better, .0025 is probably thin enough to allow some crosstalk between conductors in tightly braided cables. Some cable designers like Bogdan even use very large (~12 gauge) teflon sleeves around their 24 ga. conductors which allows more distance between them. Although I have never measured my guess is you would at least want to double or triple that .0025.

I think that 0.005 has a nice ring to it... do we have a choice? and will it cost more with a thicker coating?

CBMC: Using the manufacturer's formula, the resistance of the wire we are buying is...

23.9 Ohms/foot. DELETE! DELETE! The examples and formula were deceptive if you didn't look, like I did (purposely confused) Looks like maybe, unhh .0239 ohms??? 9.36ohms per circular mil foot, divided by (20 mils squared)


Using intlplby's cost ESTIMATES, cost is APPROX .70/foot, not including any tariffs, taxes, repackaging, remailing, etc.
