both. it is labeled paradoxically as: CCA and CAT6 *and* EIA/TIA standards compliant. CCA cannot be true while the other 2 are true, & vice versa

we threw some PoE on a copper clad aluminum (CCA) twisted pair cable just to see how bad it was… 🙊

u do have to register bc its zoom but i promise emails aren’t retained / u won’t be added to a distro or smth

RIP oh boy

so i bought the macintosh LC
