· Coaxial cable is commonly used by cable operators, telephone
companies, and internet providers around the world to convey data,
video, and voice communications to customers. It has also been used
extensively within homes.
· Coax cable is a specific type of multi-conductor cable that
carries an internal conductor that is surrounded by an insulating
layer which is then surrounded by a conducting shield. This
arrangement can vary with some coax cables having more layers and
becoming quite complex.· The basic concept is that coax cable, also known as coaxial
cable, has an inner conductor that carries the signal while the
outer conductor prevents signal leakage. The space between the two
conductors is occupied by a dielectric insulation where the
electric and magnetic fields are restricted.
· To combat this, coax cable is used as it is designed to block out
interference while restricting the intended signal to the
dielectric material. As complex as it may sound, coax cable is very
common and not difficult at all to work with.
