Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

RE: The concern is overstated,

Connecting it to the connector and the type of connector are also an important consideration. With Cu you want a gas tight crimp or joint (to avoid oxidation which acts like a resistor). If you don't have the appropriate crimp tool (most don't) or an ultrasonic welder (no-one excepting Blue Jeans) solder with a decent soldering iron and tip and use quality solder with silver content. The connectors are usually made of brass which is not a very good conductor, if you are going silver don't save here. I believe pure Cu with silver is more desirable (and discernable) but if can afford it go the whole Monty and buy connectors with pure silver contacts.
