Stingray^™

Smarter way to protect pole-top connections

Flexible, Durable High-Voltage Stinger Wire for Pole-Top Transformers

Copperweld^® Stingray^™ is an easy-to-install, covered Copper-Clad Steel (CCS) transformer riser wire designed for pole-top distribution applications. Engineered for animal protection — including bird wire and squirrel wire use — Stingray^™ helps reduce outages caused by incidental wildlife contact between primary phase conductors and equipment bushings. With a durable jacket and a strong CCS core built to withstand wind fatigue and weather exposure, Stingray^™ supports long-term reliability in critical overhead connections.

Features and Benefits:

Protective Covering – Helps prevent incidental and wildlife contact that can lead to equipment failure, service disruption, and outages in pole-top installations.

Longer Service Life – With a strong CCS core, Stingray withstands wind fatigue up to 8x longer than solid copper, delivering durable performance in harsh overhead environments.

Easier to Install – Stingray’s thermoplastic rubber covering is easier to strip than traditional HMW polyethylene, supporting faster field connections.

Superior Strength – With the strength of steel, CCS resists stretching, breakage, and deformation under mechanical and thermal stress.

Proven Reliability – Trusted for over a century in critical grounding networks, Century^™ delivers when reliability matters most.
