John: just for the heck of it, I cut into the cable at a couple of places and looked at the copper conductor. It appeared that there had been some significant damage to the copper like the chemical reaction destroyed some of the copper.
I don't know how long I had this cable. I really thought that I threw all of it out a long time ago.
