EMMFLEX coaxial cable (or "coax") is the most common cable used
for transmitting video signals. The name "coaxial" refers to the
common axis of the two conductors. Construction : A coaxial
cable has a solid copper or copper - clad - steel centre
conductor surrounded by a nonconductive dielectric, insulating
material. The dielectric is surrounded by foil shield/s and/or
copper braid/s which form the outer conductor and also shield
against electromagnetic interference (EMI). The outer conductor
/ shield is encased in a PVC jacket. Most coaxial cables for
video applications have a nominal impedance of 75 ohms. Their
differing electrical and physical characteristics make it
important to select the correct type of cable to suit the
applications.
