Awesome! Glad to help out.

It is a shame they sell that CCA crap. I have even seen direct burial cable as CCA - just why.

Oh that stuff I used was direct burry luckily I had buried a duct under the ground to run it in which has saved me a lot of time and head ache the day The CCA must work on short runs or you would think it would not even be on the market. That said I would not use it on short runs now either so hopefully some day it becomes obsolete.

It's not that the CCA junk will genuinely become obsolete; sadly, there will always be a market for those looking for the cheapest possible solution in our "race to the bottom" marketplace. Generally, most people will only do the research after it fails, only to then find out that yeah, it's a widespread problem.

It kinda reminds me of the experiment we ran in home construction (from the mid-1960s to early 1970s) of using aluminum wiring: it sorta worked...until it didn't and caused house fires.
