14 AWG Bare Hard-Drawn Copper Wire – High Strength Wire for Antenna and Grounding Systems

This 14 AWG bare hard-drawn copper wire is ideal for amateur radio operators, grounding professionals, and utility applications requiring both mechanical strength and high conductivity. Hard-drawn copper resists stretching and sagging over long spans, making it a preferred choice for permanent wire antennas and robust bonding.

Key Benefits of 14 AWG Hard-Drawn Copper Wire
