The alloy cable enjoys three advantages, such as performance, it shows 35% more of percentage elongation,50% more of resisting fatigue strength, 40% less of inverse elasticity, 10 more years of service life and stronger antioxidant and corrosion resistance than those of copper wire, because of rare earths element added in conductor and better insulating material; safety, it is contributed to adding the patent fire retardants so that the alloy cable can still function for light even on fire; and cost, 40% less than that of copper wire.
