FAQ
Bare Copper Conductors — common questions
What are bare copper conductors?
Bare copper conductors for grounding, earthing, bonding, overhead and electrical connection applications. They are built to IEC 60228, ASTM B3, ASTM B8, BS EN conductor standards.
Which standards do bare copper conductors comply with?
UE Cable bare copper conductors are manufactured and tested to IEC 60228, ASTM B3, ASTM B8, BS EN conductor standards. The exact standard for each construction is stated on its specification sheet.
What sizes and configurations are available?
3 construction families are catalogued under bare copper conductors, each offered across a range of conductor sizes and core or pair counts. Open any specification sheet for the exact conductor size, voltage, operating temperature, current rating, overall diameter and weight.
Can bare copper conductors be custom-made, and how fast is a quote?
Yes. UE Cable manufactures to customer specification — conductor, insulation, screen, armour, sheath, colour, printing and packing. Send your requirement through the inquiry list and we typically reply within 6 hours with price, lead time and test documentation.
