Coaxial Cables (RF)

Coaxial cables, also known as coax cables or RF (radio frequency) cables, are specialized cables that are used to transmit high-frequency electrical signals. Coaxial cables are designed to carry signals in the radio frequency range, which includes frequencies from about 10 kilohertz (kHz) to several gigahertz (GHz). They are commonly used in applications such as television and radio broadcasting, satellite communication, and broadband internet. Coaxial cables consist of a central conductive wire surrounded by a layer of insulation and a braided or foil shield. The shield helps to protect the cable from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and prevents the transmission of unwanted signals. Coaxial cables are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, each with its own unique characteristics and performance capabilities.
