Copper Clad Aluminum
- Copper clad aluminum (CCA) wire is a bimetallic wire with a copper cladding concentrically covering an aluminum core, which combines the optimum propertiesof both metals in a single composite material ideally suited for most electrical conductor applications
- The processing method of CCA wire is similar to that of copper wire during cable manufacture
