SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies that CPP stands for cast-polypropylene, which is utilized as a dielectric material in coaxial cables. Both PP (polypropylene) and CPP are fundamentally the same material, with negligible differences in dielectric constant. The coefficient of thermal expansion significantly influences capacitance more than the production process. The manufacturing of CPP typically involves an extrusion process, which allows for tighter tolerances compared to simple extrusion methods.
