I am in the cabling industry and have a
requirement for coaxial cables. I am sure there must be different types of such
cables. Please tell me more about the different types so I can decide which one
will suit my specific requirement.
The following is a brief of the different
types of coaxial cables:
Twin-axial
cable: A twin-axial cable is commonly used for
high-speed, short-range signalling applications, including network hardware
with SFP+ interfaces.
Tri-axial
cable: Commonly known as “triax, this cable has as
an extra layer or an outer jacket that covers an outer braid. A tri-axial cable
provides greater bandwidth and prevents data loss. It is commonly used in the
broadcasting industry.
Semi-rigid
coaxial cable: A semi-rigid cable provides better
dielectric properties for enhanced performance at high frequencies but is limited
in size and frequency transmission.
Hard
line coaxial cable: This cable is a heavy-duty
coaxial cable and comes with a rigid outer shield. A hard line cable is perfect
for radio transmitters requiring high signal strength.
Rigid
cable: A rigid cable contains two copper tubes and
a PTFE dielectric buffer supported at its ends. It has the capacity to operate
TV and FM frequencies with multi-channel transmission.
