Stranded silver-plated copper

The inner conductor is the heart of the cable and defines the flexibility and conductivity of a cable.  Several different materials and alloys are used to create these conductors, each with their specific applications and advantages.

Silver-plated copper combines high corrosion resistance and better conductivity with a bright and shiny surface of silver. The better conductivity of the outer silver layer makes this type of cable the perfect choice for high frequency wires.

A stranded wire is more flexible and easier to install than a solid wire with the same cross section. Stranding improves wire life in applications where flexibility is needed. A particular cross-section of a stranded conductor gives it essentially the same resistance characteristics as a single-strand conductor, but with added flexibility.
