When it looks like that, it's often surplus garbage someone sells online that has been water damaged/submerged for extended periods of time. Of course I'm admittedly biased, but I always wonder why people try to step over a dollar to pick up a dime when it comes to just using the right wire on your plane to begin with. You can wire the entire airplane with brand new, high quality, known quantity wire for single hundreds of dollars. On top of that, the double shielding is a pain to work with now and in the future. Just my 2 cents as usual.

The designation is M22759/34-14 90484, printed in green on the white insulation. Please note the double insulation, a blue sheath under the white. I have not noticed this double insulation on any of my other wires. The problem I have is that the wire seems to be badly tarnished and I am unable to solder it. I used paste flux on a small piece and the solder still will not stick. The sample is from the center on a long piece that has been cut so it is not as if the end could have corroded. All my other joints on this wire have been crimp joints and I just did not notice the bad discoloration on this wire. My question is will the crimped joints be OK? Is this wire OK or could it be counterfeit?
