Bare copper wire is one of the most widely used conductors in electrical wiring and grounding systems. Known for its excellent electrical conductivity, durability, and corrosion resistance, bare copper wire is a preferred choice across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Bare copper wire, as the name suggests, is pure copper wire without any insulation or coating. It is widely regarded as the industry standard for electrical applications due to its exceptional electrical conductivity, second only to silver, and its combination of durability, ductility, and corrosion resistance.
Bare copper wire is an uninsulated conductor made from solid or stranded copper. Unlike insulated wires, it has no protective coating or jacket, making it ideal for grounding and bonding where insulation is not required.Bare copper wire, be it alloyed or not is used in a variety of applications. To be precise, some of the uses of such wires include telecom cables, signal cables, electrical transmissions, grounding electrical systems, jumpers, electrical hookups, power cables, and computer cables.
