Decision	SCC wire	pure silver wire	Acceptance basis
Construction	Copper core with a specified silver surface	Silver wire of specified grade and condition	Confirm supply capability and layer construction before qualification.
Electrical basis	Assess resistance for the core/surface construction at the intended frequency and geometry	Assess resistance for the silver grade at the intended frequency and geometry	A silver surface alone does not prove equal DC or RF performance.
Surface and joining	Inspect silver coverage, handling and contact after processing	Inspect silver surface, handling and contact after processing	Specify tarnish/exposure, bend and joining tests for the actual construction.
Content and cost	Separate silver mass percentage from physical layer thickness	Use silver grade, dimensions and accepted wire mass	B298 classes use mass percentage; compare qualified cost without a fixed saving claim.
