2014年4月14日 · In addition to my plight with questionable speaker cable, I am also keen to raise questions on the general recommendations regarding front vs surround cabling, "always use at least 2.5mm² cable", and whether CCA is ever acceptable.

2011年11月27日 · There is no such thing as CCA Cat5e as the technical standards specify a solid copper conductor must be used. Therefore if CCA cable has Cat5e anywhere on the cable/packaging/marketing then it's a lie. There are a lot of unscrupulous factories in the far east that will stamp anything you want onto a box of cable, so don't trust it blindly.

2019年7月21日 · Forget CCA. Buy a quality brand of pure solid copper Cat 5 Ethernet cable and you get OFC cable cheap. Refer to the datasheet and take an attention to the insulator material of individual wires. Teflon or PTFE variety is one of the best. …

2020年10月10日 · It's a twisted pair of 14 gauge stranded/tinned copper wires designed to be speaker cable by one of the biggest cable companies in the world - that has real cable engineers designing their cables. Lower power systems can often work just fine with Belden 9497 which is a twisted pair of 16 gauge stranded/tinned copper wires also designed to be ...

2020年10月10日 · a] all the loudspeakers care about is the total end-to-end resistance of the cable. b] there are no standards for CCA conductors, so 4 mm2 may not actually be 4 mm2. c] if you get the CCA cables, you will continue to wonder whether you should have gotten the …

2003年12月31日 · Not knowing the difference I have now discovered it isn't plain old copper stranded but new to me CCA (copper clad aluminium). Hardly a high-end system it will be connecting a Cinema 70S AVR to, depending on my final choice, CA Minx MIN22 sats, or MA Mass Gen 2 sats, or better still MA Apex A10 A40 & Radius something for surrounds.

2022年2月7日 · The higher resistance of the CCA cable may mean the amp + cable + loudspeaker combination sounds different vs. using the lower resistance copper cable. What you listen to is not that relevant - the length of the cables, nominal and actual impedance of the loudspeakers across the frequency spectrum are the important figures.

2020年10月24日 · Help needed! Looking for some good quality Cat 6 cable. Need 100m minimum. Reading through the threads I need a full copper not CCA and it will be going outside on the side of the house and preferably black cable. Please link your product recommendations and if I should run it in conduit or...

2019年2月2日 · AT6158 is the cable with the lowest DCR that I have. But there is one thing to note about the AT6158. It is a thick cable, a wire diameter of 2.5mm (with OFC φ0.12mm x 238 strands). For its diameter, I think 6.8mΩ/m is a high DCR. Because my speaker connector plugs accept up to 2.0mm diameter, I use the 14 AWG cables.

2012年11月9日 · Hi After sending back some dodgy cable I ordered some new stuff from BK Electronics it was advertised as OFC but I have a feeling that what has turned up is CCA, I'm hoping someone here could maybe shed some light before I contact them. I would have thought that OFC was copper coloured all the...
