Overview

Available in Copper & CCA

What is the difference between CCA & Copper

CCA definitely has its pros over Copper, and vice versa, but first the CCA pros. Since aluminum is cheaper than copper, CCA is typically cheaper in general. Since aluminum is also lighter than copper, its much cheaper to ship. Although we can’t talk for other brands of CCA, we guarantee that our CCA is up to Category 5e standard TIA/EIA-568-B.2-2001 specs and is still capable of gigabit speeds like any other approved Cat5e cable.

Copper’s pros often outweigh the higher costs to commercial and government installers. Even though it is typically a lot more expensive, copper is more resiliant to jerks and harsh pulls when fishing the cable through tight corners and yanking it around sharp edges. This is the number one reason we’ve heard from our customers as to why they want to pay more for the cable and shipping. Many believe that since copper is a slightly better conductor of electricity than aluminum that it should also transfer data better. This is theoretically true, but is AWG has sufficient amounts of copper, it will pass Cat5e standards.

Cattex Cable 5 year warranty T&C:

The Cable will only be replaced if:

• It is proven that there is no malicious and obvious damage done to the Cable, and the Cable has not deteriorated because of being installed in the wrong environment.

• Other factors to be taken into account are the crimp quality / switches / and any other item that is connected to the Cable – these need to be checked to be working correctly and that the cable has not been mistakenly identified as the problem.
