Copper wiring has been the standard used for communications systems since before the invention of the telephone in 1876. True or false?

The answer is; true

The reason for use of copper is due to the metal's high conductivity due to its high valence in its atom's outermost shell of + 3. It is perfect for transmitting voice signals and telegrams in telegraphs. Another property of copper that appeals to its use in communication wiring is its corrosion resistance and ductility.
