Copper PE45

Copper PE45 features a solid or stranded conductor core with great conductivity. The insulation is 45 mil thick and is made of a High-Density, High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (HDHMWPE). This tracer wire is rated for direct burial and is commonly used in Open-Trench/Open-Cut, Plow-In, or Blow-In installations but we only recommend the 45 mil version over the 30 mil when doing Boring installations for the extra abrasion protection.
