Lighweight wires: Lighter, better, faster, stronger

Weight reduction, improved efficiency, consistent performance — in high-tech sectors, there is no room for compromise. To meet these challenges, FSP one has developed an innovative solution: copper clad aluminum wires that combine the lightness of aluminum with the technical benefits of copper.

 

Originally designed for the aerospace industry, these wires significantly reduce cable weight while maintaining excellent electrical, mechanical, and crimping properties. This directly contributes to lighter aircraft and, consequently, to lower fuel consumption. In a sector where every gram matters, this innovation makes a real difference.

The versatility of these wires has since opened up new applications, from defense and commercial aviation to space exploration and high-end embedded systems. Their performance can be further enhanced through silver or nickel plating, improving electrical conductivity, reducing thermal losses, and increasing resistance to corrosion.

Unlike pure aluminum wires — which are harder to crimp, less mechanically robust, and more prone to corrosion — FSP one’s lightweight wires offer long-term reliability and high performance. They provide a smart, efficient alternative for engineers looking to optimize their systems without sacrificing quality.

With this technology, FSP one reinforces its position as a key partner for the mobility and innovation sectors of the future.
