Types of Wires Used in the Electrification Market

We manufacture different types of copper wires for electrification market, including:

• Single-end wire: These wires consist of a single strand drawn from a copper rod to a particular size. International Wire offers bare and plated copper conductors.
• Stranded wire: These wires have several single-end wires twisted together. They’re commonly used in electronic devices, cable assemblies, and more. They also come in different configurations, including bunch strands, concentric strands, and rope strands.
• Braided wire: Wire braids are flexible and versatile wire constructions with excellent physical resistance and shielding capabilities. They are used for flexible connections, RFI and EMI shielding, and grounding applications. Braided wire can also provide mechanical protection for cables.
