Description

Copperweld® Type M guy strand is an economical, corrosion resistant guying material for use on overhead lines. The thick cladding of copper on each wire protects the high-strength steel core from rusting and subsequent loss of strength. The copper also provides more ampacity within the strand, thus protecting from damage during a fault condition. Costly maintenance resulting from corrosion is eliminated, and the original safety factor of the guy is maintained throughout the life of the line.
