Total FRAUD - DO NOT BUY!
Please, to avoid frustration by not receiving what is shown and what you will pay for, PASS on this and find something else.
I received this "14 gauge" wire today, and it is not even close.
According to AWG (American Wire Gauge) charts, 14 ga stranded wire has a diameter of .073 inches or 1.8542 mm.
I used digital calipers to measure this purple/fucia color wire which I received, and the wire measured out at .043 inches, which is LESS than 18 gauge wire.
18 gauge wire has a diameter of .048 inches. So this garbage is not even 18 gauge, rather somewhere around 19 gauge,
A good 14 gauge wire should be made of somewhere in the area of 45 - 50 30 gauge strands, and a best would be in the area of 100 to 110 strands of 34 gauge wire.

Doesn't look to be 14 gauge
I was sold on the 100' length, 14 gauge, and price. The wire doesn't appear to be 14 gauge at all. More like 16 gauge or smaller. I regretted buying this after I saw that Lowes had RCA 100' 14 gauge at about the same price without the shipping cost.
This stuff is definitely NOT 14 gauge wire
Although it is clearly marked 14AWG on the spool, this wire looks just like plain old 18 gauge lamp cord. I have a spool of of 16 gauge wire that is substantially thicker (the actual wire also, not just the plastic jacket). I didn't return it because of the hassle, and I was impatient to wire my sound system. Live and learn. My advice is to buy speaker wire at your local store, even if it costs a few bucks more, because you can actually check it before you fork over your hard-earned $$$.
