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

    I had a customer with 200 odd CCA cables at a site next to the sea. The terminations would oxidise and stop working all the time. Ended up injecting silicon grease on all the ends.

    I wouldn’t go near it.
