| 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 |
