On the Reolinkcam subreddit they are big on if you are wiring your house internally with ethernet cable do not use Copper Clad Aluminum cable only full copper cabling?

Why is this?

Does it make that much of a difference?

Genuinely curious to know as locally for me the cost is quite high for full copper cabling

    Two reasons…

    1. CCA is a cheap, problematic product that gives the false impression of cost savings.

    2. CCA can be a fire hazard if used for PoE.

      I am surprised this is legal given I think PoE is part of the Ethernet standard.
