patch cables are made of 100% pure copper wire and 50 micron gold plated RJ45 plugs. We do not use CCA (aluminum wire).
Why 50 micron gold plating?
What is CCA?
* Designed For: Network Adapters, Hubs, Switches, Routers, DSL/Cable Modems, Patch Panels and other Computer Networking applications.
* Certification: TIA/EIA
* T-568B standard wiring
* UTP Unshielded Twist Pair
* CM Type PVC jacket
* 24AWG 4pair stranded copper wire
* 50 micron gold plated RJ45 plug
* RoHS compliant

| TIA/EIA is abbreviation of Telecommunication Industry Association and Electronics Industry Alliance that sets telecommunication standards in the US. patch cable complies with the latest TIA/EIA telecommunication cable standards. |
|
|
|
| There are two standards for Ethernet wiring, 568A and 568B. 568B is the most prevalent in the US, and patch cable follow 568B wiring standards. |
|
|
|
| UTP is Unshielded Twisted Pair and STP is Shielded Twisted Pair. STP cable is wrapped in metal foil or braid. Both have the same Ethernet communication performance, but STP has better protection against Electro-Magnetis noise from outside. UTP is accepted for residential and general commercial installation. |
|
|
|
| CM for communication. It is set by UL (Underwriters labolatory) to indicate the wire jacket material safety. CM rating is safe to use in residential and general commercial installtions. |
|
|
|
| AWG (American Wire Gauge) indicates wire thickness. Higher the number, thinner the wire. 24AWG or 26AWG is commonly used for ethernet cables. Stranded wire is a bundle of hair thin wires as oposed to solid wire that is single solid wire. Stranded wire is more flexible than solid wire and commonly used for indoor network wiring such as patch cable. |

|
| Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. This directive restricts the use of hazardous materials in the manufacture of electronic and electrical equipments. cables are all RoHS compliant. |
