Supercon's experience and technical innovation enables us to customize conductors to your requirements. Whatever your filament count, size, shape, or cable configuration needs, we can work with you to develop and manufacture a suitable superconducting wire. Below are two examples of recent specialty conductors that Supercon developed: Very Small Filament (VSF) NbTi Superconducting Wire The Supercon Very Small Filament (VSF) NbTi superconducting wire contains hundreds of NbTi filaments. Click here to learn more... Maximum High Field 56 Filament NbTi Superconducting Wire Supercon's 56 filament NbTi superconducting wire contains the maximum amount of NbTi possible. This design is useful where the highest current density is required. This conductor provides the best high field performance obtainable with NbTi.
