Deutsch: Koaxial / Español: Coaxial / Português: Coaxial
In geometry, coaxial means that two or more forms share a common axis; it is the three-dimensional linear analogue of concentric. Coaxial cable, as a common example, has a wire conductor in the centre, a circumferential outer conductor and an insulating medium called the dielectric separating these two conductors. The outer conductor is usually sheathed in a protective PVC outer jacket.
In an industrial or industry context, "coaxial" refers to a type of electrical cable that consists of two conductors separated by a dielectric (insulating) material. The center conductor is surrounded by an insulating material, which is in turn surrounded by a metal shield, typically made of braided wires. The metal shield acts as a second conductor and provides electrical isolation, allowing the cable to transmit high-frequency signals with minimal interference.
Examples of applications of coaxial cables in industry include:
-
Broadcasting and cable television (CATV) systems for transmitting video and audio signals.
-
Computer networks for high-speed data transmission.
-
Aerospace and defense systems for transmitting data and signals in harsh environments.
-
Medical equipment for transmitting video and data in endoscopy and imaging systems.
-
Instrumentation and measurement systems for transmitting high-precision signals.
-
Automotive systems for transmitting signals in infotainment and navigation systems.
Coaxial cables are widely used in many industrial and commercial applications due to their ability to transmit high-frequency signals with minimal interference, making them an important component in many electronic and communication systems.
