CCA wire is a metal wire that has an aluminum wire at its center, surrounded by a thin layer of copper metal. This composition allows to get the benefits of aluminium which is light in weight and also the benefit of copper which is a good conductor of electricity. The consequence of this is a wire that is sandwiched between layers of copper and offers good electrical performance in most uses at a lower cost than copper itself.
However CCA wire is more desirable among users because it is cheaper. Since there is aluminum core, which is cheaper by itself as compared to using copper wire. This is very cost effective when dealing with constructions that have financial limitations.
CCA wire is one of the products which most of the current electrical systems enjoy and this is because it offers the best trade off between performance and cost. CCA wire has an aluminum core surrounded by a thin copper sheath which incorporates the advantages of both metals. The copper improves the current conduction thereby enabling more efficient transfer of electricity in areas where it is required. At the same time, the aluminum core lowers the cost and weight of the system making it suitable for many extension wiring works and other areas where cost is a factor. CCA wire is widely used in cable TV, data network cables and household, commercial and industrial electrical wiring applications. Considering LT CABLE’s CCA wire, you enjoy a cost-effective and reliable solution that does not compromise performance.
CCA wire is also called Copper Clad Aluminum wire and it is manufactured by LT CABLE. It affords a wonderful balance of electrical characteristics and cost. CCA wire consists of a core made of aluminum surrounded by a peripheral sheath made of copper. These wires are cheaper than solid copper wires as they comprise not only the advantages of aluminum wire which is lightweight, but also the cost-effective functions of copper wire. Consequently, the material is used for residential wiring, telecommunications, and data transmission. In addition, copper coating enhances wire conductivity as well as enhances resistance towards corrosion, while the aluminum core facilitates reducing the wire weight and the price. This cost-benefit combination helps to lower the cost of each device without dramatic loss in performance. In cases where the budget is limited but high-performance cost-effective wires is still needed, CCA wire serves well. CCA wire from LT CABLE is manufactured with regard to the industrial standard as to performance, stability and durability in different environmental conditions and so fits into their requirements.
There are many benefits of LT CABLE’s CCA wire on the wiring for both houses and offices. The construction of the wire includes an aluminum centre line with a copper surface which is a cheaper substitute that retains the properties of conductivity of pure copper. This design decreases the general weight of the wire thus making it lightweight and convenient for installation. Furthermore, the additional factor of copper coating protects against oxidation and corrosion thus-enhancing reliability of CCA wire. As a result, CCA wire is desired in those applications such as in data cables, in audio and video cables and in power cables where conductivity is equally of importance with cost. LT CABLE guarantees that all CCA wire products are of quality as they are subjected to stringent tests thus offering reliable service in a wide range of electrical systems.
The CCA wire manufactured by LT CABLE has been developed to offer more electrical efficiency for a lesser cost. The special feature is that aluminum core is covered with a copper cladding thereby rendering the emp-copper cored wire relatively cheaper without compromising on the cored wire performance. The copper enhances electric conductivity so as to promote effective working with electricity while the aluminum core reduces the material and weight factors. This wire is as well perfect for several applications including power systems and telecommunications that are industrial in nature. The attribute of CCA wire to have improved conductivity at lower costs is advantageous in cutting overall project costs while retaining the electrical efficiency. LT CABLE’ s CCA wire has undergone stringent requirements aiming at durability and satisfactory performance in many applications.

CCA Wire (Copper Clad Aluminum Wire) features a core of aluminum coated with a layer of copper. This combination provides a cost-effective alternative to pure copper wire, with aluminum's lightweight properties and copper's conductivity. Unlike pure copper wire, CCA wire is less expensive and lighter but still offers satisfactory performance for various applications.
CCA Wire is commonly used in applications where cost efficiency and weight reduction are important. Typical uses include telecommunications, networking cables, and certain power distribution systems. It is ideal for environments where the balance of conductivity and cost is crucial, but it is not recommended for high-current or critical applications due to its lower conductivity compared to pure copper.
CCA Wire is less suitable for harsh or outdoor environments compared to copper or other more robust alternatives. The copper coating can be susceptible to wear and corrosion over time, especially in extreme conditions. For outdoor or harsh environments, consider using wire specifically designed for such conditions or opting for more durable materials.
CCA Wire offers good electrical conductivity but is not as efficient as pure copper wire. The copper cladding provides decent conductivity, making it suitable for many applications, but it cannot match the performance of full copper wires, especially in high-current scenarios. It’s a practical choice for applications with moderate electrical demands.
When selecting CCA Wire, consider factors such as the required conductivity, environmental conditions, and budget. Ensure that the wire meets the specific requirements of your application and is compatible with other components in your system. For high-demand applications or where reliability is critical, assess if a higher-grade wire, such as pure copper or alternative materials, might be a better fit.
