Practice shows that the products of any of the factories examined today are of equally high quality. Therefore, we do not advise you to think hard about which of the enterprises you should buy. But be sure to check with the seller of all necessary certificates before making the payment. Documents will allow you to make sure that you are not buying a fake.
Unfortunately, Moskabelmet, Rybinskkabel and other Russian factories have become so respected manufacturers of wires that some Chinese companies are trying to copy them. Do not fall for tricks, buy cable-conductor products only in specialized stores, do not mess with online retailers that do not trust you!
