TINNED COPPER WIRE & CABLE APPLICATIONS

Tinned copper wire is particularly useful in underground subway systems, and projects exposed to excess oil, gas, or water. Tinned bare copper is frequently used in utility projects in the Northeast and environments exposed to excess sodium-chloride salts (seawater).

Benefits of Tinned Copper:

• Protects Against Corrosion
• Extends the Life of the Cable
• Easy to Solder
• Same Conductivity as Bare Copper
