Yes, there may be different compounds but we all call it copper. Ask any engineer/ tech and they'll call it copper.

It's a HFC network not a HFS or a HFCCS network ........
To be pedantic once more, the C in HFC is coax, not copper. I wouldn't call coax copper. I'd call it coax.

Anyway, @OP, it would really make very little difference either way. Having longer ethernet & shorter coax may make a tiny difference, but not so much that I'd go out of my way to make sure I had that setup.
