Triaxial cable


Triaxial cables, a special variant of coaxial cable, consist of three concentric conductors separated by a dielectric and a shield. This structure gives them improved performance and makes them an important tool in video technology and electrical measurement.

Triaxial cables are used in electrical measurement technology in particular, as they enable extremely precise measurements. The second outer conductor creates a small protective atmosphere so that even very low currents and signals can be measured without external electrical influences. Even currents in the femtoampere range can be measured, which is of crucial importance in many applications.

However, it is important …

WHY COAXIAL CABLES?

coaxial cable consists of two concentric conductors, which are seperated by a dielectric and by a screen. Fields of applocation for coaxial cables are video technology, electrical measurement as well as applications, where radio signals have to be transferred without loss.

Structure of a double screened coaxial cable:
1   = inner conductor – solid wire or stranded wires (1b)
2   = dielectric / isolation
3a = braid or foil
3b = braid or foil
4   = outer sheath
