AITE Cable manufactures solid copper-clad steel tracer wire for underground utility locating. Our product range includes High-Flex and High-Strength CCS tracer wire for open trench installation, plus Extra High-Strength CCS tracer wire for horizontal directional drilling.
The wire is installed alongside non-metallic underground pipelines or conduits to provide a conductive path that locating crews can trace from the surface after installation and backfilling.
Open trench and HDD installation create different mechanical demands. Select the tracer wire series according to field handling, required break load, pulling conditions and the project specification.
Designed for excavated trench, open cut, plow-in, conduit and general underground utility locating applications.
Designed for horizontal directional drilling, boring and trenchless installations that expose the wire to higher pulling stress.
| Installation Method | Recommended Series | Main Requirement | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open Trench / Open Cut | High-Flex or High-Strength CCS | Field handling, flexibility or increased installation durability | Excavated trench, plow-in, conduit and standard utility locating |
| HDD / Directional Drilling | Extra High-Strength CCS | Higher break load and pulling durability | Directional drilling, boring, trenchless installation and longer pulls |
Final product selection should follow the project specification, expected installation stress and requirements from the engineer, utility authority or project owner.
The solid copper-clad steel conductor provides a conductive path for locating signals while the steel core adds mechanical strength for underground installation.
HMWPE/HDPE insulation helps protect the conductor against moisture, chemicals, oil, impact, crush and abrasion in underground environments.
High-Flex, High-Strength and Extra High-Strength options allow buyers to match the wire construction to open trench or HDD installation conditions.
This overview helps utility contractors, distributors and project buyers identify the basic tracer wire requirements before requesting a quotation.

CCS tracer wire is installed with non-metallic pipelines and conduits that need to be located after burial.
Insulation color is normally selected according to the underground utility type, project specification or local color-code practice. AITE Cable supports custom colors for OEM and project orders.
Color alone does not determine product suitability. Always confirm the required conductor series, wire gauge and installation method.
AITE Cable is a China-based cable manufacturer specializing in solid CCS tracer wire, with OEM production support for utility distributors, contractors, importers and private-label brands.

CCS tracer wire is copper-clad steel wire installed alongside non-metallic underground pipelines or conduits. It provides a conductive path that locating equipment can use to trace the buried utility route.
Yes. AITE CCS tracer wire uses HMWPE/HDPE insulation designed for underground direct burial utility locating applications.
High-Flex CCS tracer wire is suitable when easier handling and lower recoil are important. High-Strength CCS tracer wire is recommended when the project requires higher break load or stronger installation durability.
Extra High-Strength CCS tracer wire is recommended for HDD, directional boring and trenchless installation because these methods normally create higher pulling stress than open trench installation.
Yes. OEM options include insulation color, wire marking, spool length, label, packaging and project-specific construction requirements.
Send AITE Cable your application, wire gauge if known, color, spool length, quantity and destination market. We can review the requirements and recommend the suitable Open Trench or HDD CCS tracer wire series.
Standard full-container orders can typically be completed within 2–3 weeks after specifications, packaging and production arrangements are confirmed.
