As a hesitant buyer in the Industrial and Scientific field, I was surprised by the versatility of this product. When I tried it for wiring and connecting I found it to be much more than just that .The plated copper wrapping makes it durable and long-lasting, even with frequent use. The only downside I found was the initial cost, but it more than pays for itself in the long run with its reliability. Overall, a great investment for any Industrial Electrical needs..
