Innovation

Only From Minnesota Wire

iSTRETCH^®

iSTRETCH is an electrical conductor that stretches and returns to its original size. It will stretch 40% while maintaining the electrical properties.

iStealth^®

iStealth uses carbon nanotube (CNT) technology. CNT provides conductivity with a lightweight material. This technology expands the horizon for electrical cable usage. iStealth is excellent for medical and aerospace applications.

News and Articles

SOLIDshot is a new wearable basketball shot improvement system that utilizes Minnesota Wire’s iSTRETCH. SOLIDshot tracks and records a player’s arm movement. A digital readout displays information that highlights changes the shooter needs to make—improving the form and consistency of a player’s shots.
