12 mm rod; ETP or FRHC — suited to rod breakdown machines in cable plants.
This size is available as electrolytic cathode copper wire rod (ETP) from refined cathode, or as FRHC rod from selected and refined copper scrap. Please specify the grade you require when ordering.
A common feed diameter for rod breakdown (RD) lines and medium cross-section wire production.
Choose cathode grade for maximum purity and conductivity; scrap grade for competitive cost in high-volume production.
| Diameter | 12 mm |
|---|---|
| Cathode grade (ETP) | Conductivity ≥ 101% IACS — tensile 225–235 N/mm² — elongation ≥ 38% |
| Scrap grade (FRHC) | Conductivity ≥ 100% IACS — tensile 220–250 N/mm² — elongation ≥ 36% — Cu+Ag ≥ 99.92% |
| Typical application | Rod breakdown — cable industry |
