I've heard of copper clad aluminum but never copper clad steel Ethernet.

It's actually pretty cool - it's very flexible and convenient.

It's difficult to solder and impossible to crimp though (so we use these factory-made), and I would not use PoE with it (the gauge - 32AWG - also means that it is really thin, and as it's steel, the resistance must be terrible. But for data, it works good.)

Well, iirc the classic coax for cable TV is that; they may use solid copper when using it with an LNB to power said LNB.
