Cuivre Vs CCS dans les cordons réseaux

Sure! Here's the translation into English:

CCS (Copper-Clad Steel), in the field of network cables, is a process used to reduce costs. The steel (represented in gray in the illustration) is coated with a very thin layer of copper to allow for soldering.

• Steel is a poorer conductor than copper, resulting in lower signal transmission and speed loss.

• Tendency to overheat and power loss when using PoE (Power Over Ethernet).

• Poor longevity.

• Weaker solder joints (steel cannot be soldered with tin; only the thin copper layer allows for assembly).

In summary, while CCS offers a more economical alternative, it has drawbacks in terms of conductivity, thermal management, lifespan, and solder quality compared to pure copper.
