Other features: wire marking : red line - highly flexible
IMPORTANT: the cheap cables commonly sold
on the market are most often cables presented as having copper conductors, but
are in fact made of CCA = ‘copper clad aluminium’, i.e. made with a
multi-strand aluminium core covered with a thin layer of copper, allowing
external soldering and having the external colour of copper. These cables are
less expensive, but perform much less well, because their electrical
conductivity is lower, and they are more difficult to solder. They are also
less robust and less resistant to repeated windings. This type of cable is
lighter and generates ohmic losses that can be significant in sound systems, as
well as a risk of overheating when the cross-section is the same as that of a
pure copper cable.
