Question: What is the difference between Cpct and Cpctc?

Answer

There are several issues with using traditional copper cable for data centers, including increasing cost of labor, the usage of large building spaces, and increasing time of setup. One of the reasons is that it increases labor costs. This is a Type of outdoor cable that is open at both ends with the consideration that it is enclosed at both ends by termination hardware at either end of the cable. CPCT cables including, grounding conductors with corrugated semiconductive extruded insulation, can be directly buried underground or aerial installed making them suitable for applications in the outdoors.

The CPCTC being Compact Polyethylene Cable Terminated Connectorized on the other hand is different from this due to. It operates like CPCT; only difference is that it has reduced connectors. Both ends of the cable have connectors preinstalled. These connectors (internal or external) enable easy plug/play connection to devices or other cable segments, hence avoiding in-situ termination . The utility of CPCTC cables is primarily associated with their potential to be frequently connected and disconnected. This has been proved relevant in mobile or temporary use cases, as well as others where such feature could be of an asset.
