Also known as copper utility wire or copper cable, copper tie wire helps secure conductors to pin insulators on a distribution pole. The wire’s durable HMWPE insulation surrounds the conductor and provides excellent moisture and abrasion resistance.

This wire is suitable for use in wet and dry locations up to 75°C. Bare copper tie wire is also available.
