Types of Coaxial
Cable

Figure 1 |
Coaxial Cable |
Coaxial
cables are constructed with an inner conductor surrounded
by a dielectric, which in turn, is enclosed by an outer
conductor that also acts as a shield. A
protective jacket covers the outer conductor and also acts
as insulation.
Available in many colors, aluminum mylar tape barrier
shield. |
Figure 2 |
Dual-Shielded
Coaxial Cable |
Dual shielded coaxial cables
have two outer conductors, or shields, enclosing the
dielectric. Dual shielding is needed for strength
and abrasion resistance. Dual shields allow a
decrease in attenuation and the possibility of unwanted
external signals.
Available in many colors,
aluminum mylar tape barrier shield. |
Figure 3 |
Twinaxial Cable |
Twinaxial cable is composed of two insulated single
conductor cables or hook-up wires twisted together, having
a common shield and protective jacket.
Available in many colors,
aluminum mylar tape barrier shield.

Figure 4 |
Triaxial Cable |
Triaxial cable is coaxial cable
with one inner conductor and two shields all separated
with dielectric material. Triaxial cable signals may
be transported by both the inner conductor and the inner
shield while the outer shield is at ground
potential.
Aluminum mylar tape barrier
shields also available. |

Multi- Cable |
Multi-cables are composed of various quantities of
coaxial, twinaxial, pairs and singles cabled together per
customers specification, shielded and jacketed with
various materials and colors.
