copper rod

Conductive metal stick

A copper rod is a solid cylindrical bar of copper, typically used in electrical applications, metalworking, or as raw material for manufacturing.

Copper's excellent conductivity makes these rods common in grounding systems and electrical installations: The electrician drove a copper rod into the earth for grounding.

They also serve as stock material for machining or crafting.
