Where these two actually differ
- We flag Copper conductor corrosion and oxidation, Thermal degradation of PVC jacket and Microplastic shedding from jacket wear on the Anker and not on the Cacoe.
- We flag Microplastic shedding or material degradation and Mold or bacterial growth in seals if water-sealed improperly on the Cacoe and not on the Anker.
- The Anker is PVC outer jacket, copper conductors, standard connectors where the Cacoe is Waterproofed TPU/silicone case, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
- We are less certain about the Cacoe grade, at 42% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
