CCA Defined
This type of cable has an inner aluminum conductor coated with copper, and is much lighter than solid copper cables.

CCA cabling does have its place when used in certain electrical applications to avoid problems with aluminum wire connections, but it’s not a viable substitute for twisted-pair communications cabling.
