Know the Facts: Pure Copper Cable vs CCA Cable

Uses of CCA Cables:

The primary uses of these cables revolve around weight reduction requirements or cost reduction purposes
Short-run home installation

Installers should not supply CCA cables against contracts that demand:

Category-based performance for the cable against North American, international or European standards
That the installed cabling meets a given Category against ANSI/TIA-568-C.2
That the installed cabling meets a given Class against ISO/IEC 11801 or EN 50173-1 (without a significant risk of failure during acceptance testing)
The use of Power over Ethernet devices
The installer needs to formally advise the user that the installation should not be used to support Power over Ethernet or other power supplies due to the probable excessive heating that may result
