Why Pure Copper Matters in Power Strips?
Pure Copper Conductors: The Gold Standard for Safety & Efficiency
In high-quality power strips, pure copper (100% copper) is the preferred material for internal conductors. Here’s why it outperforms alternatives like aluminum or copper-clad aluminum (CCA):
1. Superior Electrical Conductivity
- 98%+ conductivity minimizes energy loss and heat generation.
- Conducts electricity 40% more efficiently than aluminum, ensuring stable power output.
2. Enhanced Safety
- Resists overheating even under heavy loads (e.g., 2000W devices).
- Prevents oxidation and corrosion, reducing long-term fire risks.
3. Durability & Sustainability
- Flexible yet unbreakable, surviving decades of plugging/unplugging.
- 100% recyclable, making it an eco-friendly choice.
4. Meets Global Standards
High-end certified power strips (e.g., UL, CE) require pure copper conductors to guarantee quality and compliance.
| Material | Conductivity | Heat Resistance | Lifespan |
| Pure Copper | 98%+ (IEC) | Stable at 80°C+ | 10+ years |
| Aluminum/CCA | ~60% | Weakens under heat | 3-5 years (oxidizes) |
