Copper Clad Aluminum Conductors
Copper-Clad Aluminum Round Wire
CCA round wire combines an aluminum core with copper cladding for lightweight conductor designs. Select diameter and copper content around the required resistance and connection method. For signal cables, include the operating frequency and cable construction in the specification.
Construction and specification
- Material construction
- Aluminum core with copper cladding; specify the layer ratio and its mass or volume basis
- Product form
- Round wire
- Diameter range /
- Φ 0.1–4.0 mm
- Dimensional tolerance /
- ±0.005 mm
Selection and processing
Diameter, copper ratio and mechanical condition describe the conductor; cable frequency, pair or coaxial geometry and terminals describe the finished application. An Ethernet or PoE design needs its specified cable/category requirements and assembled-cable tests.
Standards context
ASTM B566-04a(2025): bare round CCA wire; agree class and test requirements. A reference is not product certification.
Standards scope referencesProduct questions
