What is unique about CTC’s ACCC Cable?
ACCC stands for Aluminum Conductor Composite Core and is a light-weight composite core cable wrapped with high-performance, fully annealed, trapezoidal-shaped wires. The new composite core exhibits up to twice the strength of steel and allows nearly 30% more aluminum to be incorporated into the same diameter with equivalent weight. Unlike conventional steel-cored cables, CTC’s ACCC composite core has a thermal coefficient of expansion so low, that even at temperatures approaching 200 degrees C, the cable won’t sag which is a common problem with conventional cables. ACCC Cable is tough, strong, impact resistant, flexible, workable and does not rust, rot corrode, or degrade when operated within high temperature limits, as well as from airborne chemicals, UV radiation, or other normal environmental factors.
