CCA. So good or bad? Thanks.

Not as good as solid copper.

If you're going to be frequently moving this around, then I wouldn't go with the more easily fatigued CCA, but the resistivity of Al is about 1.6 that of copper so if you can do 100M distance with copper, you should be good for about 205ft with Al, or more with CCA which is needed anyway to maintain better contact at the connectors.

If you have one of those "green" switches, depending on the modularity of its TX power ramping, CCA might cause a loss of a few mW but you would probably never regain that power cost from the difference in cost of pure copper cabling, but on the other hand both of these factors mean I wouldn't use CCA for POE.

It's $7.50, I'll pocket the savings on my packet loss.
