The majority of cables are initially designed around a copper - sometimes metal-plated or aluminium conductor.
Copper is an expensive commodity and since its price quadrupled in the 2000s manufacturers have explored ways to reduce costs.
This following module will look at the way some manufacturers have attempted to reduce costs and the effects substandard or counterfeit cables may have on the suitability of an installation.
