Coaxial cable is used as a transmission line for radio frequency signals, in applications such as connecting radio transmitters and receivers with their antennas, computer network (Internet) connections, and distributing cable television signals. One advantage of coax over other types of transmission line is that in an ideal coaxial cable the electromagnetic field carrying the signal exists only in the space between the inner and outer conductors. This allows coaxial cable runs to be installed next to metal objects such as gutters without the power losses that occur in other transmission lines, and provides protection of the signal from external electromagnetic interference.
Applications
Co Axial cables are widely used in TV operations, Radios, Ethernets, video equipments, Computer networking and close cicuit camera connections. Solid/ Flexible annealed bare copper is used as a conductor, shielded with fine aluminium/copper braid and sheathed with PVC makes it ideal for connectivity and signal strength.
