Supporting Information
Glossary
A calculated percentage
that defines the complete-
ness with which a braid or
shield covers the surface of
the underlying insulated
conductor or conductors.
Crimp
Final configuration of a ter-
minal barrel formed by the
compression of the terminal
barrel and conductor.
Crimping Die
Portion of the crimping tool
that shapes the crimp.
Crimping Tool
Mechanism used for
crimping.
Crosslinking
The formation of bonds
between molecular chains
in a polymer by means of
chemical catalyzation or
electron bombardment. The
properties of the resulting
thermosetting material are
usually improved.
Crosslinking by Irradiation
A method of crosslinking
polymers that makes a non-
flowing material. This gener-
ally improves the properties
of the polymer.
Crosstalk
Signal interference between
adjacent conductors
caused by a transfer of
energy.
Crystallinity
The portion of polymer
chains that are ordered in a
regular (as opposed to
amorphous) structure or a
crystal lattice. Crystallinity
tends to improve mechani-
cal properties and fluid
resistance. Crystalline or
semicrystalline materials
have a well-defined melting
point (shrink temperature) at
which the structure
becomes disordered and
the polymer flows.

Specifications subject
to change.
An agency that has devel-
oped standard specifica-
tions for products with
particular emphasis on
safety in the end use.
Curing
See Thermoset.
Current
A movement or flow of elec-
trons. Also, the measure of
this flow, expressed in
amperes.
Current-carrying Capacity
The maximum current an
insulated conductor is
capable of carrying without
exceeding its insulation-
and /or jacket-temperature
limitations under specified
ambient conditions. Also
known as ampacity.
Current Rating
The maximum continuous
electrical flow of current for
which a device is designed
to conduct for a specified
time at a specified opera-
tion temperature. Usually
expressed in amperes.
Cutout
The hole, usually round or
rectangular, cut into a metal
panel in order to mount a
connector. The cutout may
also include holes for
mounting screws or bolts.
Cut-through Resistance
Resistance of solid material
to penetration by an object
(typically a closely con-
trolled knife edge) under
conditions of pressure,
temperature, and other
elements.
Dielectric
Any insulating material
between two conductors
that permits electrostatic
attraction and repulsion to
take place across it. A
material having electrical
insulating properties.

Canada: 1-905-470-4425
Mexico: 01-800-733-8926
C. America: 52-55-5-729-0425
The voltage required to
cause an electrical failure or
breakthrough of the insula-
tion. Determined by a
destructive test. See also
Breakdown Voltage.
Dielectric Constant
(also K)
The ratio of the capacitance
between two electrodes
with a solid, liquid, or
gaseous dielectric, to the
capacitance with air
between the electrodes.
Also called permittivity and
specific inductive capacity.
Generally low values are
desirable for insulation.
Dielectric Strength
The maximum voltage a
dielectric can withstand
without rupture. Usually
expressed as volts per mil.
Dielectric Withstand Voltage
(DWV)
A test voltage for a wire,
cable, or insulation.
Direct Current Resistance
(DCR)
The resistance offered by
any circuit to the flow of
direct current.
Direction of Lay
The lateral direction in
which the strands or
elements of a cable run
over the top of the cable
as they recede from the
observer. Expressed as
right-hand or left-hand lay.
Discontinuity
A broken connection, or the
loss of a specific connec-
tion characteristic. Also, the
temporary interruption or
variation in current or volt-
age.
Dissipation Factor
The ratio between the per-
mittivity and the conductivi-
ty of a dielectric.
