If you need it really fine, check out piano wire -- though plain carbon = steel, the finer stuff is actually as strong as the best alloy steels!
If you want copper wire, I suppose electrical wire is not normally = specified for it, but it's just 100 alloy copper, which I see listed as =
4.8 KSI tensile yield (annealed) to 48.4 KSI (cold drawn). Electrical = wire usually feels like it's in the half- to full-hard condition, so it = should be around 20 KSI or better.
Be sure to mount it securely so it doesn't dig into the insulation and = short out or anything.
