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
