Copper cable wire

    Electrical wire and cable manufacturer Eurocable Group announced that it has began production of copper wire at its plant near Zagreb as part of a push for the vertical integration of its business. The company is one of the few manufacturers of electrical wire and cable in Europe to launch in-house production of copper wire from copper cathodes. Eurocable Group's in-house production will fully cover the company's needs for 8 mm copper wires, thus cutting operating costs and making external suppliers redundant. The copper cathodes that will be processed at the Jakovlje site will be procured from companies that are members of the LME. Production will initially focus on meeting only the needs of the Eurocable Group itself.

    Colada Continua Chilena, the Chilean copper wire producer, plans to expand the production capacity of its Continua plant by 40,000t to 115,000t/y through the construction of two new production lines. The company anticipates that the first production line will commence operations by mid-2012, while the second is likely to follow 2-3 years later. Proposals have yet to be evaluated by the environment ministry but suggest that the cost of the project will be US$8M.

  • According to a study by the Metatech Corporation, commissioned under Executive Order 13407 for assessment of vulnerability to geomagnetic storms, manufacturers presently have a backlog of nearly three years for all extra highvoltage transformers (230 kilovolts and above). Only one plant exists in the U.S.A. capable of manufacturing a transformer up to 345 kV. There is no manufacturing capability in the U.S.A. for 500 kV and 765 kV transformers, which represent the largest group of at-risk transformers in the U.S. power grid. The 500 and 765 kV transformers are the backbone of the grid that extends into regions that contain nearly 80 percent of the U.S. population, according to John Kappenman of Storm Analysis Consultants and Metatech Corp.

  • The figures show that copper-based broadband technologies (DSL, ADSL, and ADSL2+) continue to be dominant, although fiber-optic broadband technologies (which include VDSL and VDSL2, according to the Broadband Forum) are taking a firmer grip with growth rates of 17.6% overall. Although DSL remains the predominant technology, fiber continues to outpace all access types in new deployments, according to the analysts.

  • We also strongly believe that our ability to offer aluminum building wire has helped to increase our copper building wire sales over the last 2 years. Over the trailing four quarters, our copper unit sales are up 13% over the previous four quarters. We believe that is due in some part to the fact we now also offer aluminum wire. We continue to believe that copper will be the conductor of choice in most building wire applications, but we will offer aluminum to those customers who want it. We will continue to canvass our independent manufacturer's representatives and our electrical distributor customers, to determine what products they are purchasing that may make sense for us to produce and sell.
