Stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, of copper or aluminium, not electrically insulated

CPC v2.1 Code: 42942

About stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, of copper or aluminium, not electrically insulated

cpc code 42942 covers a wide range of non-electrically insulated wire, cable, and related products made from copper or aluminum. These materials play a crucial role in various industries, including construction, transportation, and telecommunications, by facilitating the transmission of electricity, signals, and data. As a key component in infrastructure development and technological advancement, the products under this code contribute significantly to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of the items covered by cpc code 42942 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as copper or aluminum, are melted and extruded into the desired shape and size. The strands or wires are then twisted, plaited, or braided together to form the final product. Depending on the specific application, additional treatments, such as galvanization or annealing, may be applied to enhance the product's durability and performance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of items under cpc code 42942 include copper and aluminum, which serve as the primary raw materials. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as wire-drawing machines, braiding machines, and annealing furnaces, are essential for the manufacturing process. Other inputs may include lubricants, protective coatings, and various tools and equipment used in the fabrication and assembly of the final products.

Production outputs

The products covered by cpc code 42942 are primarily used as components in a wide range of applications, including 42941 Insulated wire, cable and other insulated electric conductors, 42943 Stranded wire, ropes, cables, plaited bands and the like, of iron or steel, not electrically insulated, and 42944 Stranded wire, ropes, cables, plaited bands and the like, of other base metal, not electrically insulated. These non-insulated wire and cable products are essential for the construction, maintenance, and upgrading of electrical and communication infrastructure, as well as various industrial and transportation applications.
