Feature
Double Cotton Covered (DCC) Copper Wire features an additional layer of cotton insulation, enhancing its durability and resistance to environmental factors. The dual-layer cotton provides improved electrical insulation, reducing the risk of short circuits while offering moderate voltage resistance and heat tolerance. This structure helps protect the wire from moisture, dust, and wear, extending its lifespan.
Application
DCC copper wire is widely used in vintage electronics restoration, musical instrument manufacturing, and antique lamp rewiring. Its classic appearance, combined with reliability and flexibility, makes it a preferred choice for applications requiring both aesthetic appeal and functional durability.
