That's How We Make Them!
We do not cut corners where quality is concerned. For one thing, we start out with quality conductors and high-grade materials. This is one of the major things that differentiates us from the competition.
For example, we use pure copper for all our Cat5 cables. Some competitors use CCA (copper clad aluminum or copper clad alloy) because it costs less. However, we believe pure copper is better because:
Bare copper is a more efficient electrical conductor than CCA.
CCA cables need heavier gauge (larger) wire to achieve the same Cat5e cable rating (350 MHz).
Bare copper is more durable, making it more resilient to jerks and pulls when the cable is going through tight corners and around sharp edges.
Bare copper causes less electrical loss, which is important when cables are run over long distances.
To properly carry a cable listing for a cable, it has to be pure copper.
