Choose Tracer Wire by Installation Method
AITE Cable supplies copper-clad steel tracer wire for two major underground installation methods: open trench / open cut and horizontal directional drilling. The right wire depends on the required flexibility, mechanical strength, insulation thickness, and installation conditions.
Open Trench / Open Cut High-Flex or High-Strength CCS Tracer Wire
For standard gas, water, sewer, irrigation, and utility pipeline installation, AITE Cable offers High-Flex and High-Strength CCS tracer wire options.
- High-Flex: easier field handling for open trench installation
- High-Strength: stronger conductor construction for demanding burial conditions
- Available with 30 mil or 45 mil insulation
HDD / Directional Drilling Extra High-Strength CCS Tracer Wire
For HDD, boring, and trenchless installation, Extra High-Strength CCS tracer wire is recommended where higher pulling strength and durable insulation are required.
- Designed for directional drilling and pulling applications
- Extra high-strength copper-clad steel conductor
- Typically supplied with 45 mil insulation

Why Use Solid Copper-Clad Steel Tracer Wire?
Solid CCS Conductor
A solid copper-clad steel conductor combines the locating performance of copper with the mechanical strength of steel for underground utility projects.
Direct Burial Insulation
HMWPE/HDPE insulation helps protect the wire against moisture, chemicals, oil, impact, crush, and abrasion in underground environments.
Built for Utility Locating
The wire is installed alongside non-metallic pipelines or conduits to help locating crews identify buried utilities from the surface.
Underground Utility Applications
CCS tracer wire is used in utility, construction, municipal, and infrastructure projects where non-metallic underground lines need to be located after installation.
