CopperClad Type M Guy Wire
CopperClad Type M guy wire is an economical, corrosion-resistant guying material for
use on overhead lines. The copper cladding that is bonded on each wire protects the
high-strength steel core from rusting and subsequent loss of strength. Additionally, the
copper provides more ampacity within the strand to protect from fault condition damage.
Since CopperClad Steel Wire is corrosion resistant, costly maintenance is eliminated and
the guy wire maintains its original safety factor throughout the life of the line.
7-strand CopperClad Steel Wire
The steel core of Type M guy strand withstands more mechanical abuse and is less
susceptible to vibration-induced fatigue when compared to solid copper wire. The steel
core allows for double the breaking strength of solid copper conductors.
There is no scrap value in CopperClad Type M guy strand which discourages theft and
leaves the guying system intact.
