Eclipse-family OCC-7N copper in a slimmer 13AWG build — the previous generation, at legacy pricing. Mini, in Wireworld’s naming, means a slimmer and lower-conductor-count member of the Eclipse family rather than a different material tier. It sits below the full Eclipse and above Equinox, using the same grade of conductor in a smaller build at a lower price. That conductor is OCC-7N copper — Ohno Continuous Cast at seven-nines purity, drawn so the metal forms long crystal grains rather than many short ones. It is the material that defines the Eclipse tier. This is the Series 8 version, and it has been superseded. Wireworld’s current equivalent is the Mini Eclipse 10, and in practice the changeover is complete: the URLs that search engines still index under the Mini Eclipse 8 name now serve Mini Eclipse 10 content. We could not find a Wireworld sentence naming Mini Eclipse 8 as retired specifically, so we will put it this way — there is no live Mini Eclipse 8 page on their site, and Series 8 as a whole is archived. Treat this as legacy stock. One consequence of that worth being straight about: because Wireworld took the Series 8 spec sheets down, we cannot give you the Composilex generation, conductor count or DNA Helix designation for this exact cable from a Wireworld source. Series 8 cables generally used Composilex 3, and the 13AWG figure is well attested by dealers, but neither is on a live Wireworld page for this model. We have marked those fields honestly below rather than borrowing the Series 10 numbers. Spade and banana terminations, sold as a pair. Features OCC-7N copper conductors — the Eclipse-family material in a slimmer build 13AWG gauge Spade and banana terminations Sold as a pair Superseded generation — the current equivalent is Mini Eclipse 10 Specifications Type: Speaker cable, sold as a pair What Mini means: A slimmer, lower-conductor-count member of the Eclipse family — the same conductor material tier as full Eclipse in a smaller build. It sits below Eclipse and above Equinox Status: Superseded. No live Mini Eclipse 8 page exists on Wireworld’s site; the URLs indexed under that name now serve Mini Eclipse 10 content, and Wireworld archives Series 8 as retired. We could not find a sentence naming this model as retired specifically, so we are describing what we observed rather than asserting a status. Legacy stock Current equivalent: Mini Eclipse 10 — OCC-7N copper, 13AWG, Quad DNA Helix, 4 conductors, 32 insulated strands, Composilex 5 Conductor material: OCC-7N Copper, per Wireworld’s surviving resource page for this model Gauge: 13AWG. This figure is well attested by dealers but no longer appears on a live Wireworld page for this model Conductor count and geometry: Not published. Wireworld has removed the Series 8 spec sheet for this cable and we are not going to substitute the Mini Eclipse 10’s figures Insulation: Not published for this model specifically. Series 8 cables generally used Composilex 3, but no live Wireworld page states it for the Mini Eclipse 8 Terminations offered: Spade to spade and banana to banana Lengths: As shown above — the stock we hold. Wireworld published no length list for Series 8 cables Electrical figures: None published. Wireworld does not publish capacitance, inductance or resistance per unit length for this cable, or for any cable in the range as far as we could find. Their claims about noise and resolution are assertions rather than measurements — no test method, no figures, no independent results are given. The one objectively checkable technical claim behind the range is the DNA Helix patents, US 8,569,627 and US 9,620,262, and a patent establishes novelty rather than performance. We would rather tell you that than quote marketing copy at you as though it had been measured. Country of manufacture: Not published. Wireworld is headquartered in Davie, Florida, but we could find no Made in USA claim for the cables themselves anywhere on their site — the only manufacturing statement we found concerns packaging, which they say is printed in the US. A head office is not a factory and we are not going to present it as one. Warranty: Wireworld publishes a Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects to the original purchaser, with damage from abuse or wear excluded. That is essentially the whole published policy — there is no itemised exclusions list, no claims procedure and no statement about transferability, though the phrase “to the original purchaser” implies it does not transfer. Proof of purchase from an authorised dealer is required, and Wireworld asks you to go through that dealer first. The ’In Groove is an authorised Wireworld dealer.
