Term | Description |
---|---|
CRCS | An acronym for continuous Rigid Cable Support (synonymous with tray) |
Creep | The dimensional change with time of a material under load |
Creepage | Electrical leakage on a solid dielectric surface |
Cross-Linked or Irridated Polyethylene (XLPE) | Polyethylene that is transformed from thermoplastic material to thermoset material, to achieve better chemical and thermal properties |
Cross-Linked or Irridated Polyvinylchloride (XL-PVC) | Polyvinylchloride that is transformed from thermoplastic material to thermoset material, to achieve better chemical and thermal properties |
Cross-Linking | Introducing intermolecular bonds between long chain thermoplastic polymers by chemical or electron bombardment means. The properties of the resulting thermosetting materials are usually improved. |
Crosstalk | Signal interference between nearby conductors by pickup of stray energy. It is also called induced interference. |
Cure | See definition for "Vulcanization" |
Curl | The degree to which a wire tends to form a circle after removal from a spool. An indication of the ability of the wire to be wrapped around posts in long runs. |
Current | The rate of flow of electricity in a circuit (measured in amperes) |
Current Penetration | The depth a current of a given frequency will penetrate into the surface of a conductor carrying the current |
Current-Carrying Capacity | The maximum current an insulated conductor or cable can continuously carry without exceeding its temperature rating (also called ampacity) |
Cut-Through | Resistance of solid material to penetration by an object under conditions or pressure, temperature, etc. |
CV (Continuous Vulcanizations) | Simultaneous extrusion and vulcanization of wire coating materials |
Cycle | The complete sequence of alternation or reversal of the flow of an alternating electric current |
