As a more cost-conscious alternative, high price creates innovation——Copper Clad Aluminum Wire, whose cost is about half of the price of pure copper cables. If misused and its limitations are not fully understood, it can also cause
problems. The difference between copper clad aluminum wire and pure copper wire is here.

The strength and elongation of pure copper conductors are greater than copper-clad aluminum conductors, and copper-clad aluminum is lighter and softer. Because the conductivity of aluminum is worse than that of copper, the DC resistance
of copper-clad aluminum conductors is greater than that of pure copper conductors. Copper-clad aluminum conductors are more expensive than pure copper conductors of the same weight. And the use of copper-clad aluminum can reduce network
failures.

The above points are the difference between copper-clad aluminum wire and pure copper wire. After these analyses, we believe that copper-clad aluminum wire is better than pure copper wire in application.
