Low-grade cable refers to electrical and communications wiring that contains a lower percentage of pure copper compared to premium-grade cables. It includes cables with mixed metals, heavier insulation, or coatings that reduce the overall copper content, such as: Armoured cable Multi-core electrical and power cables Heavy-duty industrial wiring Communications or data cables with fillers and sheathings Loose or mixed cables from site clearances Although it contains less recoverable copper than high-grade cable, low-grade cable still holds significant recycling value and contributes to sustainable resource recovery.
