Re: tool-less vs. punch-down CAT jacks + cables

said by aurgathor:

Does anyone know if HD or Lowes sell bulk CAT6, or any mail order place that sells a quantity other than a full spool/reel?

I got 1000f of cat6 for 80$ (shipped) off eBay.

You either buy terminated lenghts, or you buy a full 1000f.

Looking at cables, there are CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) and solid copper. Aside from the obvious (i.e. price, composition, etc.) is there any difference between the two?

Dont touch Copper Clad Aluminum with a 10 foot pole. That stuff isn't even remotely close to spec.
