µΩ·cm = abΩ·cm × 0.001

About Abohm-centimetres

The abohm-centimetre (abΩ·cm) is the resistivity unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 10⁻⁹ Ω × 0.01 m = 10⁻¹¹ Ω·m. It appears in nineteenth-century electromagnetic analysis of telegraph cables and dynamo windings; silver, the best metallic conductor, has resistivity ≈1.59 nΩ·m = 159 abΩ·cm. 1 abΩ·cm = 10⁻¹¹ Ω·m.

About Microohm-centimetres

The microohm-centimetre (µΩ·cm) equals 10⁻⁸ Ω·m = 10 nΩ·m, the traditional unit for bulk metal resistivity in materials science. Copper is 1.68 µΩ·cm; tungsten 5.6 µΩ·cm; platinum 10.6 µΩ·cm; CRC Handbook tables still list metal resistivities in µΩ·cm. 1 µΩ·cm = 10⁻⁸ Ω·m = 10 nΩ·m.
