Coaxial Cable

Coaxial Cable ( also called coax ) is a category of cable which has an inner central conductor surrounded by an insulating sheath, which is again covered by a outer metal conductor. This not only acts as a second conductor for completing the circuit but also as a shield against noise.This outer conductor is again covered by a plastic cover.
 * Compared to UTP and STP, coaxial cable is more expensive, less flexible and more difficult to install in constricted spaces witn large number of bends.
 * It is much more reliable and can support higher data rates.
 * They are divided into various categoriss based on their thickness and size fo shields, insulators and coating.
 * Commonly used ot carry television cable transmissions.
