Connecting Wire
Connecting Wire (Product Code: SCL-367/082) is a double cotton covered (DCC) copper wire used to make circuit connections in school and college physics laboratories. Lab assistants cut it to length from a 500 g quantity to join cells, keys, meters and resistance apparatus, while the cotton covering insulates each run. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, among the lab consumables it offers for physics practicals.

What Is DCC Connecting Wire Used For?
In the electricity section of a physics practical, DCC connecting wire links the cell, plug key, rheostat, ammeter, voltmeter and resistance wire in Ohm’s law, meter bridge and potentiometer experiments. Students cut a short piece for each connection, strip the cotton from the ends, brighten the copper with sand paper and tighten it firmly under each terminal.
Because the cotton layers insulate the wire, DCC copper is also handy for simple coil-winding activities such as a small demonstration solenoid, which makes it a useful stock item in school physics lab equipment in India. Keep connections short and tight to reduce contact resistance, trim loose strands, and store the reel in a dry cupboard since cotton absorbs moisture.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of 500 g quantities your laboratory needs.
- The wire gauge or diameter you prefer, as it is not stated in our listing.
- Whether you also need wire cutters and sand paper for preparing the ends.
Supplier
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an Ambala-based company that supplies DCC connecting wire together with the meters, keys and resistance boxes it is wired to. Labs, dealers and importers across India and international markets can combine wire, tools and apparatus in one order instead of sourcing consumables separately. Company background is available on the ScienceLab profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Connecting Wire made of?
The Connecting Wire is copper wire with a double cotton covering, commonly called DCC wire. The copper carries the current between apparatus, while the cotton layers insulate the wire along its length so that neighbouring connections on the bench do not short together.
How much wire does one Connecting Wire unit contain?
The Connecting Wire is listed with a capacity of 500 g of DCC copper wire. The length contained in that quantity depends on the wire gauge, so please confirm the gauge and the number of 500 g quantities you need when you request a quotation.
What gauge is the Connecting Wire?
The wire gauge of the Connecting Wire is not stated in our listing. If your experiments or coil projects need a particular diameter, mention it through the contact page and we will confirm what can be supplied before you place an order.
How should the ends of the Connecting Wire be prepared?
To prepare the Connecting Wire, remove the cotton covering from each end and rub the copper with sand paper until it is bright. Clean, bare copper tightened firmly under a terminal gives a low-resistance joint and steadier meter readings during the experiment.
Who supplies the Connecting Wire?
The Connecting Wire is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India. The company offers it to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets along with other physics lab apparatus.
Can the Connecting Wire be quoted with other physics apparatus?
Yes, the Connecting Wire can be quoted together with meters, cells, keys, rheostats and other physics lab apparatus in one enquiry. List every item with its quantity and delivery location, and a single combined quotation will be prepared for your laboratory.
Request a Quote
For a Connecting Wire quotation, send the number of 500 g quantities and your preferred gauge through the contact page, or add the item to the enquiry cart with the rest of your list.
