ccs stranded wire
CCS stranded wire, also known as Copper Clad Steel stranded wire, represents a sophisticated engineering solution that combines the superior conductivity of copper with the mechanical strength of steel. This innovative conductor consists of multiple steel wires individually coated with copper, twisted together to form a flexible and durable cable. The steel core provides exceptional tensile strength while the copper coating ensures optimal electrical conductivity. These wires typically feature various stranding configurations, ranging from 7 strands to 19 strands or more, depending on the specific application requirements. The manufacturing process involves metallurgically bonding copper to steel through advanced techniques, creating a permanent and reliable connection between the two metals. CCS stranded wire offers an economical alternative to solid copper conductors while maintaining excellent performance characteristics. Common applications include telecommunications infrastructure, grounding systems, power distribution networks, and various electronic devices. The wire's design allows for superior flexibility and ease of installation while resisting corrosion and environmental factors. Its dual-material construction makes it particularly valuable in applications where both mechanical strength and electrical conductivity are critical factors.
