1. Simple construction. 2. Low DC resistance per unit area. 3. Good resistance to capacitance ratios achievable in most embodiments. Disadvantages: 1. High relative inductance. 2. Stiff and likely to harden with use. 3. Solid conductors tend to ring, do to low "Q". 4. High DC to AC resistance ratio. Given the best of associated materials, single/double solid core designs represent good "values".
