CCS Stranded Wire for High-Strength Grounding and Cable Systems
Copper clad steel stranded wire for conductor systems requiring mechanical strength, copper surface conductivity and installation flexibility.
CCS stranded wire should be positioned for high-strength cable, grounding and conductor systems after structure validation.
Engineering Decision Summary
Decide faster before sampling or production quotation
Not Recommended When
- Do not select CCS only by diameter; tensile strength and conductivity grade both matter.
- Do not use CCS where bending fatigue or corrosion environment is unknown.
Confirm First
- Diameter, strand structure or foil width
- Conductivity grade and tensile strength
- Copper layer requirement
Validation Focus
- Mechanical load: Tensile strength target, diameter or strand structure and installation load
- Conductivity grade: Fault current, signal requirement, copper layer target and standard requirement
- Outdoor environment: Service environment, coating/plating request and lifetime expectation

Engineering Selection
How to Decide Whether This Product Fits Your Project
Raytron recommends confirming application fit, electrical or mechanical limits and the validation path before quotation. This reduces back-and-forth and helps engineering and procurement teams align on one specification.
| Decision Factor | Raytron Guidance | Evidence to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical load | Choose CCS when tensile strength, grounding reliability or long-span performance is critical. | Tensile strength target, diameter or strand structure and installation load |
| Conductivity grade | Specify conductivity by application instead of assuming copper-equivalent behavior. | Fault current, signal requirement, copper layer target and standard requirement |
| Outdoor environment | Review corrosion, soil, salt spray and termination risks early. | Service environment, coating/plating request and lifetime expectation |
Typical Applications
- Grounding networks
- Telecom grounding
- Infrastructure conductors
- Cable conductor systems
Buyer Selection Notes
