Many companies are now marketing CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum) cable as a lightweight, less expensive alternative to copper. It is true, CCA does in fact weigh less than standard copper but there is no such thing as a free lunch – it also has higher resistance per foot than comparably sized copper. Third party testing has proven CCA passes 30 to 40% LESS power than traditional copper of the same size! Skimping on copper is not where you want to save money (or weight) in your projects.
