Nationwide, copper wire theft has become an enormous problem. Copper wire is being stolen from many sources – electrical equipment, transformers, overhead wires, streetlights, and telephone lines. Copper wire is also being stolen from utility poles.

Electrical utilities, phone and cable companies have been installing heavy duty EMC steel U-Guard and are finding it discourages the theft of copper ground wire and cable from utility poles. EMC steel U-Guard further discourages copper theft as it also is used as an affordable barrier over conduit.
