Our High Quality Network Cables:
Bare Copper Wire
Even though it is typically a little more expensive, bare copper is more resilient to jerks and harsh pulls when fishing the cable through tight corners and sharp edges. Since copper is a better conductor of electricity than aluminum it will allow better data transfer rates.

Their Poor Quality Network Cables:
Copper Clad Aluminum Wire CCA
CCA, is not in compliance with UL Standards, and therefore cannot truly be UL approved. To test your existing cable, strip off the jackets until you see the solid metal core. Hold your knife at a 90 degree angle and begin scraping the copper off the cable. You will see silver (aluminum) Also Copper Clad Aluminum will break if you twist it several times on itself, where bare copper will typically hold on after you've twisted it 20-30 times.
