  Coax cable / Coaxial RF Feeder :: Radio-Electronics.Com
Coax cable or coaxial feeder is used in many applications where it is necessary to transfer radio frequency energy from one point to another.
The cable is made from a number of different elements that when together enable the coax cable to carry the radio frequency signals with a low level of loss from one location to another.
The impedance of the RF coax cable is chiefly governed by the diameters of the inner and outer conductors.

 Coax Cable Selection
Cable characteristics are determined by a number of factors (core material, dielectric material and shield construction, among others) and must be carefully matched to the specific application.
Although coax cable has built-in losses, the longer and smaller the cable is, the more severe the losses become; and the higher the signal frequency, the more pronounced the losses.
Because the characteristic impedance of coax cable ranges from 72 to 75 ohms, it is necessary that the signal travels on a uniform path along any point in the system to prevent any picture distortion and to help ensure proper transfer of the signal from the camera to the monitor.

 RF Coax Cable Connectors :: Radio-Electronics.Com
Coax cable connectors, often called RF connectors are in widespread use.
Electrically the BNC coax cable connector is designed to present a constant impedance and it is most common in its 50 ohm version, although 75 ohm ones can be obtained.
For flexible cables, the frequency limit is normally determined by the cable and not the connector.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The characteristic impedance of a coaxial cable is determined by the relation of outer conductor diameter to inner conductor diameter and by the dielectric constant of the insulation.
The coaxial cable velocity of propagation is defined by the velocity of the dielectric.
Coax connectors are often used to interface two units such as the antenna to a transmission line, a receiver or a transmitter.

 Coaxial Cable - An Overview
Coax is available from many manufacturers and comes in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, specifications and capabilities.
All three "coax" cable groups are included in the same general family classification for coaxial cables.
This decreased resistance of large diameter cable enhances the ability of a cable to carry a video signal over a longer distance with better clarity, but, it is also more expensive and harder to work with.

 The Ultimate Guide to 11 Meter CB Antennas
Coax has been around for a long time and became very popular with Radio Amateurs after World War II, when army surplus stores were filled with miles of coax cable.
Loss is RF energy that the coax turns into heat or "leaks" instead of passing on to the antenna (or to the receiver from the antenna).
Cables that use foam dielectric, that is where the insulation is mixed with an inert gas, have very low loss.

 Coax Technical Features
The purpose of the tansmission cable is to carry the RF signal with a minimum amount of loss.
Thus, the resistance loss in any given cable type varies in direct proportion to the frequency of the RF signal-the higher the frequency the greater the loss.
Any attenuation which differs substantially from this amount indicates a problem with the cable, such as a poor connector, physical damage such as a sharp crimp or bend, or moisture in the cable.

 What is coaxial cable? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: coax, cable
Coaxial cable is sometimes used by telephone companies from their central office to the telephone poles near users.
Coaxial cable is called "coaxial" because it includes one physical channel that carries the signal surrounded (after a layer of insulation) by another concentric physical channel, both running along the same axis.
Coaxial cable was invented in 1929 and first used commercially in 1941.

 Digital Video Coax Cable is built for optimal flexibility., Belden
Both cables use the same connectors, eliminating the need for additional tooling and connectors and providing installers and end users exceptional cost- and labor-savings.
In these demanding venues, on-the-move crews are repeatedly pulling, bending and flexing the cables, which put conventional cables at risk for developing discontinuities that degrade cable performance or even cause breakage.
And today, with digital audio signals increasingly being run through coax in accordance with the Audio Engineering Society's standard AES-3id, Belden 1694F coax is an excellent choice for demanding audio applications in which optimum flexibility and flex life are required.
