CCS & CCA "CW1308"

Postby admin » Tue Jun 21, 2011 11:14 am

Customers should be aware of CCS (Copper Clad Steel) & CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) that is being sold elsewhere & wrongly claimed to be CW1308 specification. CW1308 specification requires the cable to be pure copper & twisted pair. A lot of cable that is being sold is also so poorly twisted it could not be described as twisted pair! The net result with any of these issues with broadband is degradation in ADSL speed, even over relatively short distances!

As the price of copper continues to rise these problems will sadly only ever become more common.

Sadly too late for this customer..........

"Yes ...you can buy cheaper cable ..I did twice , but it didn't work on ADSL 2 . Should have gone to run-IT-direct and used theirs in the first place..it works . If I had , I would have avoided doing the job 3 times over . Excellent customer service , very quick dispatch and good advice freely given ..highly recommended . Anyone want 75m of copper coloured steel cable ? !!"
