Abstract
Carbon Fiber Composite Cable (CFCC®) is a stranded carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), developed by Tokyo Rope Mfg. Co. Ltd. CFCC holds a superior property of the carbon fiber, in terms of high tensile strength, high tensile modulus, light weight, high corrosion resistance, non magnetic interact, and low linear expansion rate. The stranded construction of CFCC also gives high flexibility, which allows easy handling of the cable by shaping it into coil. The main applications of CFCC are civil works and overhead conductors. For example, CFCC has been installed as reinforcement of structures under corrosive environments such as oceans and acid hot-spring resorts. CFCC is also adopted as a core of high-temperature and low-sag overhead conductors because of its light weight. Owing to the superior features of CFCC, its applications to various fields have been increasing.
