    Remember to avoid CCA wired Cat5e / Cat6 cables get real copper wired cables

    In a 20+ year old copy of the TIA/EIA 568 spec it says: "The cable shall consist of 22 AWG to 24 AWG thermoplastic insulated solid conductors that are formed into four individually twisted-pairs and enclosed by a thermoplastic jacket." Was the standard relaxed to include CCA cables.? If not...

    UNIFI—The Best Option...?
