Common types of coaxial cable
As we know that, the coaxial cable is popularly used to transmit electrical signals from one electronic system or component to another. They are considered as one of the most durable cable types. Coax cable mainly consists of four different layers that is center conductor usually made of copper, surrounded by plastic dielectric insulator, then copper braided layer, and at last plastic covering to prevent internal damage. Coax cables are of different types and major three of them are discussed below- Flexible coaxial cable Flexible coax cable is the most common type of coax cable which is mainly used for its excellent flexibility. It is also known as braided coaxial cable because it has braided outer layer of fine conducting wires that act as a shield to the center conductor. If required, the shielding capability of these braided layers can be increased by adding extra layer of aluminum fold over the braid. Being flexible, they are widely used for military and aerospace applicatio
