CTC is an Irvine, CA-based company providing high performance advanced composite core conductor cables for electric transmission and distribution lines. The proprietary new ACCC cable can transmit two times more power than comparably sized conventional cables in use today. ACCC can solve high-temperature line sag problems, create energy savings through less line losses, has significantly lower corona and reduced electromagnetic fields, and can easily be retrofitted on existing towers to upgrade energy throughput. ACCC cables allow transmission owners, utility companies, and power producers to easily replace transmission lines without modification to the towers using standard installation techniques and equipment, thereby avoiding the deployment of new towers and establishment of new rights-of-way that are costly, time consuming, controversial and may impact the environment. CTC has established strategic relationships with existing cable manufacturers to rapidly expand production and facilitate deployment to end users worldwide. See: www.compositetechcorp.com .
