In theory yes although I wouldn't advise that you do. CCA or CCS
cable has copper coated or clad aluminium or steel conductors which
although cheaper than solid copper have a number of disadvantages.
The conductors in CCA cable are considerably more brittle that
solid copper conductors making them more likely to crack when
routing cables and resulting in cable failures. They are also
harder to terminate and more likely to fail during termination.
Aluminium or steel conductors offer reduced conductance when
compared to solid copper meaning operational cable lengths and the
potential power that will be available from PoE sources will be
reduced. Installing long cable runs can be time consuming so
risking cable failure by using cheap cable is often false economy
when the work has to be re-done.
