Copperweld copper-clad steel wire (CCS) is ideal for tracer wire applications as a substitute for solid copper. Copperweld wire possesses superior breaking load and increased strength due to the steel core, yet maintains high flexibility thanks to our patented heat-treatment processes. The copper cladding allows the wire to carry the same signal capacity as solid copper. This ultimately reduces costs in drilling, boring and open trenching and is more economical over the life of the wire.
