Dripstone600002 1000ft CAT5e 4/UTP Ethernet LAN Cable 24AWG Network Wire (Gray)

Q: Are the wires solid copper or are they copper clad aluminum wires?

Not solid copper. Copper-clad aluminium wire or CCA, is an electrical conductor composed of an inner aluminium core and outer copper cladding. Aluminum and Steel have a much higher resistance than that of the copper. Thus the use of CCA wire in Cat5e cables and CAT6 cables will lead to larger amounts (than solid copper) of data loss. This will eventually lead to slower data speeds.

Q: It clearly says CCA wire, are you saying you received solid copper or can't you tell the difference?

The listing did not always show an angle of the box that states CCA. The description did not mention CCA. The box I received had no specs at all. The cable has "Cat5e UTP SOLID 24AWG/4 PRS" printed on it. Striping one of the wires and scraping at it does reveal a silver-colored aluminum core. I was hoping for pure copper, but haven't actually had any issues with running this cable around my apartment.

Q: At this price point I am assuming this is CCA cable?

As the product page states this is a Copper-clad Aluminium wire

Q: Looks like there is a divider in the cable, is that accurate? Or is it just the twisted strands? Thanks!

I used it and is just the same as the other stuff on the market. 50 bucks less
