What are the types of wire and cable conductors and what are the differences in performance? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Please follow TST CABLES to see it together.
The conductor of the wire is generally divided into Bare Copper Cable, Tinned Copper Cable, Nickel Plated Copper Cable, Silver Plated Copper Cable, this four kinds of conductor differences, which will result in different performance of the wire?

First, bare copper Cable
Bare copper cable in the industry refers to pure copper conductor, in fact, is the copper surface layer without any plating production processing, usually, oxygen-free copper copper content of > 99.97%, low oxygen copper copper content of > 99.95%.
Bare copper wire is a pure copper conductor reprocessing of the more commonly used line, strong conductive line, transmission signal stability can be stronger, bare copper shielding is in addition to the gold shielding in addition to the better conductor. Affordable, easy to be oxidized, better on the tin, the price is also a little cheaper.
Second, tinned copper Cable
Tinned copper cable, refers to the surface layer of copper plated with a layer of metallic tin. Tin plating can prevent the copper exposed to air and be oxidized to produce a film – copper green, and copper green conductive properties will also increase resistance. Although tin is not an inert metal, the nature of the active than copper, but tin at room temperature in the air is more stable, because the surface layer of tin will produce a layer of tight oxide film, preventing the tin continues to be oxidized. Therefore, copper surface tin plating can be greatly enhanced copper antioxidant.
Tinned copper is stable, conductive properties, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and electromagnetic shielding are better, has a very good application value. Its good on the tin, the price is a little cheaper, but high temperature performance in general, generally only can reach 150 ℃, in the conductor diameter of more than 0.38 can reach 200 ℃.
Third, nickel-plated copper Cable
Nickel-plated layer in the air stability can be very high, because the nickel metal has a strong passivation ability, in the surface of the rapid production of a layer of very thin passivation film, can resist the atmosphere, alkali and some acid corrosion, and its nickel-plated layer of hardness is relatively high, can enhance the wear resistance of the product surface layer.
Nickel-plated copper wire on the parts can be used to parts with good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, weldability and high hardness and other advantages, to achieve the standard of use of the parts to enhance the service life of the parts.
High-temperature performance is also the best, can reach 250 ℃, but not so good on the tin, the price is more expensive, conductive properties are also relatively poor.
Fourth, silver-plated copper Cable
Silver-plated copper wire cable is a layer of silver-plated copper wire surface layer, silver-plated layer is easy to polish, has a strong reflective ability and good thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, welding performance, and the silver layer has a high degree of corrosion resistance.
In the bare copper, tinned copper, nickel-plated copper in the highest price, good oxidation resistance, good on the tin, although the high temperature resistance is not as good as nickel-plated copper, but the conductor has the best performance (especially high frequency).
