Cat 5e CCA (Copper-Clad Aluminum) cable is a versatile Ethernet cable suitable for cost-effective network installations in both residential and commercial environments. Built to meet Category 5e standards, it supports reliable data transmission at speeds up to 1 Gbps, making it suitable for tasks such as internet browsing, video streaming, VoIP, and file sharing.
The cable features copper-clad aluminum conductors, offering a more economical alternative to pure copper while providing adequate performance for standard networking needs. However, CCA cables have slightly lower conductivity and durability compared to pure copper, making them better suited for environments where budget considerations outweigh the need for top-tier performance.
Packaged in convenient 305-meter (1,000 feet) boxes, Cat 5e CCA cable provides sufficient length for extensive installations, ensuring flexibility and ease of use during setup. This bulk packaging minimizes waste and reduces the frequency of cable changes, making it ideal for projects requiring economical yet reliable network connectivity.
