KCA Kable Blue 8 Gauge Power Wire - 5'
Kolossus Copper Aluminum Kable (KCA Kable) has arrived! The KCA Kable uses the same ultra flex PVC found in the Kolossus Fleks Kable and the Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) conductor from the KLMX Kable. Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) is made up of 90% Aluminum and 10% Copper. CCA overall provides a cost effective solution to most audio systems. Assembled from stranded 34 gauge CCA, the KCA Kable is equal in size to the Kolossus Fleks Kable, but is designed for lighter current loads and not lightening your wallet. By using an area of 12.81mm^2 of CCA, the cable is nearly equal to 7 gauge. This over sizing offsets the use of the CCA compared to standard sized 8 made of OFC. So you get equal performance and at sizable savings. Beware of imitation cables that are more jacket then conductor, be sure to see or obtain cross section measurements or pictures. Price is per 5' - Need 15'? buy a qty of 3 and receive one 15' section of wire

Product FAQCan this power wire be used as ground wire too?
Yes, there is no physical difference between power or ground cable. We do recommend using two different color wires to differentiate between positive and negative connections though.
What is OFC or CCA?
OFC stands for Oxygen Free Copper, it is the most common conductor used in mobile audio at the moment. Copper is increasing in cost though and Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) has continued to grow in popularity. KnuKonceptz was an earliy adopter to CCA as we saw that when used properly, CCA would make a cost effective alternative to OFC. The main difference is CCA is less conductive then OFC, so we made our CCA cable oversized to offset this difference. By using more CCA in our cable then a standard OFC model, we can offer a product at a 50% price savings and yet only have a 15% difference in performance. Making CCA a very good bang for the buck product.
