Oxidation on surface of cable under clear jacket


Wondered if anyone has had this problem.  I have a pair of “Oval” cables I was going to reintroduce into my system.  They’re 15 years old.  I noticed that green oxidation had formed over a length of the cable under the clear jacket.  Since there is shrink tubing over the spade connector, so I can’t tell if the oxidation has reached the connector.  Problem is the manufacturer’s warranty was over many years ago.  They weren’t inexpensive. Seems others have had the same issue.  I guess I’ll give them a call to see what can be done, but I’m not optimistic.  I do have another manufacturer’s cables I can use if this can’t be remedied.. Your thoughts?

"Oval", is ot Analysis Plus cables?

A little DIY is needed. You can cut the affected area and put another spade or same one if it is with screw terminal. Normally gold plated connectors do not oxidize but you can check it.

I would do all four of them.
