Copper Cable Products
Copper Cable & Wire Products are still widely used throughout the CATV and telecommunications industry and deployed in outside aerial or underground installations for voice and data transmission, for electrical grounding and to identify the location of buried communications network facilities. Category rated cables are primarily used for high-frequency transmission and can be used indoor or in OSP LAN applications depending facility length and the category rating.

OSP Paired Copper Cable
Outside Plant Copper is generally installed in aerial locations on poles or underground, direct buried or placed in conduit. Copper pairs are used to deliver voice services and certain forms of data transport services such as HDSL.
Features
- Multiple Gauges
- Multiple Pair Count
- Aerial/Direct Bury
- Corrosion Resistant

Tracer Wire
Underground broadband communications networks use tracer wire for locating buried cable prior to digging or when troubleshooting underground facilities. The goal is to improve safety, minimize costs and prevent network outages or facility damage when digging is required around or near underground facilities.
Features
- Direct bury/Directional bore
- UL rated
- Chemical/Moisture/Crush/Abrasion resistant
- Copper/Copper-clad steel/Stainless
- Water Blocking options
- PE jacketed/High tensile strength
- Corrosion resistant

Ground Wire
Ground wire is used to ensure safety and to provide an electrical path to earth if the neutral conductor fails. This eliminates potential contact with dangerous voltage and also serves to minimize static electricity build-up. This conductor can be bare copper or PVC jacketed in various colors.
Features
- XHHW/THNN ratings
- Flame Retardant PVC insulated/Bare copper
- Sunlight/Chemical/gas/oil resistant
- UL/ATSM/REA Compliance, ROHS Compliant
- Various gauges/reel sizes and jacket colors
- Solid and stranded
- Copper/Copper-Clad steel/Tinned Copper

Grounding Products
Ground rods are most widely used grounding electrode as a safeguard to protect personnel from electrical shock and protect expensive electrical equipment. Available in solid copper, copper bonded, stainless and galvanized steel and many lengths and diameters. While galvanized steel is less expensive it has a shorter service life than solid copper or stainless steel.
Features
- High-strength/uniform thickness/corrosion resistant
- Deep-drive sectional rods available based on soil composition
- Coupling/Drive sleeves/connectors/clamps available
- Exceeds ANSI/UL/NEMA requirements
