As federal mandates for fuel efficiency increase, the need to reduce vehicle weight is even more important. Often overlooked in that search are the battery cables.
While providing equivalent ampacities when sized appropriately, Copperweld’s suite of CCA conductors can reduce cable weight up to 40% and optimize energy efficiencies of the entire architecture, generating less heat. CCA allows engineers to design with the proven reliability of copper connections.
Our wire is available in both SAE and ISO wire sizes, bare or insulated. CCA wire is commonly available in 8mm² to 120mm² diameters, offered as annealed or hard-drawn, with 10% and 15% copper volumes. Copperweld offers a wide variety of reel sizes, material and options.
Copperweld can manufacture coaxial conductors to any specification. Contact our sales team to discuss your project needs and start a quote.

Copperweld CCS's high-carbon steel core provides strength, flexibility and the ability to stretch more than 15% — perfect for applications subject to repetitive motion.
The linear weight of our CCS is more than 10% lighter than solid copper which can help lower overall vehicle weight, save on freight expenses and improve the ease of installation.
Copperweld CCA provides the weight savings achievable with aluminum wiring while offering the added convenience of standard copper connection sytems.
Equivalently sized Copperweld CCA provides a larger cross-sectional area, resulting in overall operating temperatures, which can improve long-term reliability.
Appropriately insulated Copperweld CCS is perfectly suited for severe environmental conditions involving salt, water and typical under-hood contaminants.
Reduce costly in-factory wire theft. Copperweld’s metallurgically bonded conductors have extremely low street value, making it unattractive to copper thieves.
