The term OFC (oxygen-free copper) has become abused and is used synonymously with solid or all-copper conductors. In actuality, OFC is a type of solid copper. When molten copper is cast and drawn into a conductor, the process to make an OFC conductor reduces the oxygen content of the wire. If all is done perfectly, the copper-oxygen content is around 42 parts per million (PPM) vs. a conventional copper with content that is roughly six times that amount. But there are no regulated specifications for the use of the term OFC. So most sales boasting this quality have no assurance of such. Or any required oxygen content to meet to do so. Most companies in the industry use the acronym “OFC” for a piece of wire that is not copper-clad aluminum (CCA)
