The minefield

CCA (copper clad aluminum)
OFC (oxygen free copper) This is regular copper wire.
It gets worse.
CCA copper clad aluminum is supposed to meet a coating thickness (microns) standard.
Yes this is exaggeration but I swear the Chinese try their damndest to clad 100,000 ft of aluminum with an ounce of copper. Damned near rub it off with a thumb.
To them, 14.2 (copper) gauge wire is 12-gauge so solly if it's a little wrong. But check aluminum wire and it's right on the mark.
The 48 SMD LEDS I purchased a while back have a monstrous 30 gauge pair of single strand feeder wires. Human hair. I can only imagine the corporate boardroom knife fights deciding just how tiny to take the wire conductor.
The USA FTC should be abolished saving many billions of dollars a year. They do do anything anyway. Phony UL certification. Ya don't certify a ten amp DC power supply that has 24 (almost) gauge output wires.
