What is the maximum tracing length?

Solid copper 14AWG twin tracer can reach up to 35km under good ground condition. CCS 18AWG single core is within 800-1200m. Long pipe lines require intermediate connection joints.

What is the color code standard?

Yellow insulation indicates natural gas pipeline. Blue insulation indicates potable water pipeline. Black / red is custom for sewage, cable duct projects.

What are the common applications?

Underground PE gas pipelines, HDPE water pipes, plastic drainage pipes, fiber optic conduit, farm buried pipeline.

Can tracer wire be used for electric fence?

Not recommended. Designed for lowfrequency locating signal; PE insulation not rated for high pulse voltage of electric fence.

AI-Powered supplier vetting

SummaryThe supplier operates cable-related production lines, including LAN cable twisting, insulation forming, cabling, braiding, doubling, and jacket processing. It reports OEM service for popular brands, ODM availability, and broad customization from samples or designs. Quality assurance and raw-material traceability are stated, but finished products are checked by packing staff and several control activities lack written procedures or records. Innovation evidence is limited because no new products were reported in the past year and no SDK is available. The supplier has no overseas warehouses, showrooms, agents, branches, or reported offline trade-show participation. Export experience exists but is limited, with three experienced export staff and one having more than ten years of experience. Manufacturing capacity is represented by 12 production lines, although continuous quantity reconciliation is not performed. Financial information is present only as year labels and is not assessed numerically.

Supplier typeThe supplier is a cable-product manufacturer with 12 production lines covering LAN cable twisting, insulation forming, cabling, braiding, doubling, and jacket processing. It also provides OEM and ODM services, indicating a manufacturer with design and production-service capabilities.

R&D capabilityThe supplier offers ODM services and design-related customization, but reports no new products during the past year and no available SDK. It also reports no ERP integration and no stated sustainable-development or technical-transformation plan, indicating insufficient evidence of strong recent innovation capability.

Production capacityThe supplier reports 12 production lines and multiple cable-processing capabilities, with stated quality assurance and raw-material traceability. However, it does not perform continuous quantity reconciliation for each batch or production volume, and finished products are checked by packing staff, leaving limitations in documented production-control evidence.

Customization capabilityThe supplier explicitly offers customization from samples, customization from designs, full customization, minor customization, and flexible customization. The same broad design-service range is supported by its ODM capability.

Product Q&A

Q:What is tracer wire?

Tracer wire is a continuous run insulated copper/copper clad steel cable buried alongside underground non-metallic pipelines (PE gas pipe, water pipe, fiber duct). It allows utility crews to locate plastic pipe with a cable locator transmitter & receiver, since plastic pipe cannot be detected directly.

Q:What is standard construction?

- Conductor: Solid copper / CCS (Copper Clad Steel); common sizes 14AWG,16AWG,18AWG - Insulation: High density PE; single insulation or parallel twin tracer wire - Typical OD: 2.0-3.2mm for single core; parallel 2 core available - Insulation color: Yellow for gas line; blue for water line (industry convention)

Q:What is the difference between Copper and CCS tracer wire?

Solid copper offers lowest resistance, best locating signal, long term stability, and is a premium choice for long pipeline projects. CCS (Copper Clad Steel) has higher tensile strength, lower cost, is suitable for rocky ground, and allows easy pulling, though higher resistance limits maximum tracing distance.

Q:What is the difference between single core and parallel 2core tracer wire?

Single core needs a ground return path and is a onewire system. Parallel 2core (twin tracer wire) has a signal loop inside the cable, requires no external ground, and provides more stable tracing in high interference areas; it is widely used now.

Q:Can tracer wire be buried directly?

Yes, PE insulation is UV resistant for underground burial. Avoid sharp rock cutting jacket; bury 15-30cm beside the pipe line. Do not lay directly on top of pipe; maintain 5-10cm offset.
