        Coaxial Cable

        Coaxial cable, also known as coax, is a type of cable consisting of an inner conductor surrounded by a concentric conducting shield, with the two separated by a dielectric (insulating material). Coaxial cables also have a protective outer sheath or jacket. 

        What is a coaxial cable used for? 

        • Coaxial Cable transmits radio frequency signals from one point to another.
        • Commonly used for TV cabling.
        • Connecting radio transmitters and receivers to antennas, computer networks & digital audio.
