How it compares
Polycab, KEI and RR Kabel also make good IS 694 copper wire, and list prices are close. Finolex's advantage is verification and availability. See KEI vs Finolex, RR Kabel vs Finolex and the four-brand comparison.
Make sure it is genuine
Finolex cartons carry two QR codes: an outer code on the carton label and an inner code you reach only after opening. The outer one proves the carton is registered with Finolex; the inner one proves the contents are what Finolex packed. Scan both, at your site, before you pay. Our Finolex wire scanner does it in the browser.
