Coaxial Cable

Transmitting High-Frequency Signals with Coaxial Cable

Coaxial cable is a specialized shielded wire designed to carry radio frequency (RF) signals with minimal loss and distortion. It plays a vital role in networks that utilize high-frequency bands like 4G/5G cellular routers and Wi-Fi access points connections.

Coaxial cable consists of a central copper conductor wire enclosed in insulating material. This is surrounded by either braided wire mesh or foil shielding, and then a protective outer layer. This layered design allows RF signals to transmit accurately across long distances with enhanced protection against environmental noise and interference. Proper shielding helps prevent signal leakage or infiltration of interference.

With properties optimized for RF environments and connectivity hardware like N-type connectors, coaxial cable serves as the vital circulatory system carrying high-speed data across today's cellular and Wi-Fi networks. Choosing cable matched to the deployment environment is critical for clear, accurate signal transport.
