Design

Coaxial cables can greatly vary in design, which can affect the performance and utility of the cable. They were designed to reduce the problem of electromagnetic interference faced by using a twisted pair of wires when they carry current. The term coaxial implies that all the layers of the cable share the same axis. In the centre is a single copper wire which is wrapped into an insulator (usually plastic). The inner conductor could be one solid rigid wire or a stranded layer offering more flexibility. The inner wire could be silver-plated or copper-plated.

The next outer layer is metallic (aluminum usually) and it functions to block out electromagnetic interference (EMI) from outside. The outermost is a rubber coating also referred to as a protective jacket. The dielectric insulator wrapped around the inner conductor greatly affects the properties of the wire. The insulator may be a foam plastic, solid plastic, or air with spacers supporting the inner wire.

At the end of the cable, there is a connector that serves to connect the cable with the appliance. The thick metal-plated structure helps prevent any loss of signal or leakage when the connection is established.

Shielding

Shielding reduces the cross-talk also known as electromagnetic interference and therefore can carry signals for longer distances. Coaxial cables can either have foil shielding or braided shielding in the layering for insulation. Foil shielding is usually aluminum sheets and protects against higher frequency EMI.  Braided shielding provides the best protection against lower frequency EMI.

Signal Loss

Even the best shielding can not give a hundred percent resilience against EMI or leakage, and there is a signal loss to some degree as the signal travels over the distance. The amount of signal loss is an important factor when you are looking to buy a coaxial cable. Depending upon your need you need to be mindful of the signal loss over the distance unit.

Types

Coaxial cables are capable of transmitting data in the form of RF, microwave, or digital signals. While coaxial cables have the same basic structure but the design could vary for different applications. The variation in the design of the coaxial cable can greatly alter its functionality and performance.

Application

Coaxial cables have great implications in the prototyping industry and global production. You can assess the quality of coaxial cables on the basis of structure, efficiency, and capacity.

Coaxial Cables are extensively used in various applications including industrial and mechanical applications. They are the most common wires used in tv, cable, DVD player connections as well as CCTV and wireless internet connections. They also have applications in military communication systems and airborne systems. They are a preferred choice due to the higher quality of signal transmission and lower signal loss. They deliver signal quality as good as optic fiber but are more durable and cheaper in comparison.

You will have to choose the RF coaxial cable depending upon your needs for frequency application, bandwidth, and the distance you need to cover. Thicker cables will be able to handle higher frequencies better with minimum distortion or leakage. This implies the factor that you should consider are shielding and signal loss.

The wide range of coaxial cables with different connectors can help you design several systems more efficiently with better quality and less cost.

What are RF Cables and Where Are They Used?

Overview

The coax or coaxial cables used to transmit radio frequencies for longer distance are called RF cables. They are mainly used to send video signals to television sets and other video devices. Their most common application is TV and internet connections.

What are RF cables?

Radio signals used to transmit audio and video data are best described as alternating wavelengths oscillating at a set frequency.  With ordinary wires, there is an issue of loss of signals and external interference which decreases the quality of audio and video signals.  When an alternating current passes through twisted pair wires which are wrapped around each other their combined electromagnetic field did reduce the external interference but for long-distance, it added up to  This is also termed as Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) and coaxial cables are specifically designed to reduce this problem.

 Coaxial cables are multilayered so they reduce the loss of signals to a significant degree and external rubber act as a protective jacket to increase durability. 

Since all the layers of coaxial wire share the same excess there is little interference and sheets protect the electric wavelengths from external distortions. Due to extra shielding, they can carry signals for longer distances. In comparison to twisted pair, coaxial cables are capable of transmitting 80 times more data and henceforth better quality and speed.

An improvement was offered for telecommunication through an optical fiber, in which data was transferred in the form of light passing through very fine glass fibers, thus taking EMI out of the picture. Many argue that fiber optics offer much better quality for signals however that is a very expensive option and are fragile, so in case of any damage the replacements and repair can get unnecessarily very expensive. Since most businesses are looking for options that will offer the best at the lowest rate, it does not make sense to convert the systems doing fine on the coaxial cable to modern glass fiber. This is the reason the RF cables are a more popular choice as a cost-effective solution for most businesses. Twisted pair is still preferred by some telecommunication companies over coaxial cables for the very same reason, they are cheaper and oldest in the market. However, when a good speed is required RF coaxial cables are the go-to option.

Application

RF cables are used in military communication networks, business world and in the media industry and telecommunication. Their major utility is with television sets and internet connections. RF is the standard cable inputs for most TV sets, DVD players,  game systems and home theaters.

Efficient Signals Transmission Using RF Cables and Antenna

Television channels are obtained with radio frequency signals. RF antennas are important for catching signals. This antenna delivers signals to television sets using RF cables. RF cables are used in getting television transmission. RF cables are connected with antennas that can be divided by using RF splitters. RF splitters help in setting various TV sets in a home for good reception of signals.

Antennas help in catching signals. These vary in sizes and types. Size of the antenna also plays role in catching signals. Small antennas cannot catch signals easily however they are less affected by interferes. On the other hand, large RF antennas are good at receiving signals but prone to interferences. Interferences are actually the RF waves that emits from various sources and become the cause of distorting sound and images in television.

Choosing the right antenna to match different RF signals is important to get clear transmission.  Check power transmission feature of RF antenna to know its capability of catching signals. Some antennas catch specific RF waves while some catch multiple. Therefore, it is important to choose the most suitable antenna that suits to your needs.

Although, many people prefer wireless technology instead of cabling but there are various issues in it and RF cables are still in use. Wireless system is also associated with electromechanical interference and radio frequency interference as network can pick outside frequencies. Therefore, RF cables help in reducing this interference as these are properly installed and available in shielded form.

There are different types of cabling that affect speed. Twisted cables can transfer data with high speed as compared to others. Fiber optic cabling is the best option for high speed data transfer and extended ranges.

Using RF cables, you can expand your network easily. It is a simple process of connecting a router to the existing cabling. There are lots of benefits of using RF cables. It is a reliable means of transferring data that is more secure as compared to wireless system.
