CWI’s lashing wire is the right choice to ensure telephone wires remain stable and intact throughout the year, keeping us connected and productive. From long winters to dry heat, lashing wire can see some of the most extreme elements that Mother Nature can throw at it – and must be prepared in the manufacturing process, to weather these climates and perform day in and day out.  

These weather demands require tensile strength, durability, and pressure tested lashing wire that holds up to the challenges of mother nature, keeping signals running and houses lit. Many stainless steel alloys provide these traits, but they are not all effective in handling weather obstacles.  

One way to ensure that harsh conditions do not compromise telecommunication systems is to select the proper material grade lashing wire for the environment it’s located in. Here’s a brief primer on how to choose lashing wire material grades, and the reasons some are suitable for certain applications and conditions.
