Copperweld's metal-clad electrical cable relies on a composite structure that merges an aluminium core with an outer layer of copper. This material is presented as an alternative to traditional solid copper wiring for use in commercial and large residential construction projects.

Copperweld asserts several advantages of its hybrid metal-clad electrical cable. The primary emphasis boasts financial predictability due to a significantly reduced reliance on pure copper, whose market price is known for volatility. Additional promoted benefits include the physical handling characteristics of the cable, which are noted as being lighter than its solid copper counterpart. The product is also framed as a deterrent to theft on construction sites, given its lower intrinsic scrap metal value.

From a sustainability perspective, Copperweld claims the metal-clad electrical cable contributes to energy efficiency within a building's electrical system and conserves copper resources by using less of the metal overall.
