The "1x7" designation describes the physical layout of the cable: One straight wire at the center. Outer Layer: Six wires helically wound around that core.
Beyond fishing, 1x7 copper (or copper-clad steel) is used in electrical and structural environments:
Copper is 13% denser than stainless steel, allowing the line to sink faster and reach greater depths with less line in the water.
This is the most rigid of the standard stranded configurations (stiffer than 1x19 or 7x7).
