AUTOMATE™ Series, Coaxial Cables (RF)

Coaxial cable products are a type of cable that feature two or more conductors of circular cross-section, with their center points coincident in the finished product. These cables are distinguished from shielded cables that have only one internal conductor by the degree of care used in manufacturing. Coaxial cables are manufactured with greater attention paid to maintaining consistent conductor geometries, insulation thickness, and insulation dielectric properties along the length of the cable. This consistency is important to minimize discontinuities in cable characteristics that could adversely affect its utility for carrying high-frequency signals. Coaxial cables are specifically designed for transmitting high-frequency signals with minimal loss and interference. The design of these cables includes an inner conductor surrounded by a dielectric insulator, which is then surrounded by a metallic shield. The metallic shield helps to prevent interference from external sources and also serves as a return path for the signal. The use of coaxial cables is prevalent in a range of applications, including telecommunications, broadcasting, and computer networking. They are commonly used for connecting antennas, cable modems, and satellite receivers, among other devices. Overall, coaxial cable products are essential in transmitting high-frequency signals reliably and efficiently. Their manufacturing process emphasizes consistent conductor geometries, insulation thickness, and dielectric properties to ensure minimal discontinuities along the length of the cable. This makes them an ideal choice for various applications in industries such as telecommunications and broadcasting.
