Coaxial cable

Coaxial cables were abundantly acclimated in mainframe computer systems and were the aboriginal blazon of above cable acclimated for Local Area Networks (LAN). Common applications for coaxial cable today cover computer arrangement (Internet) and chart abstracts connections, video and CATV distribution, RF and bake transmission, and feedlines abutting radio transmitters and receivers with their antennas.86

Most coaxial cables accept a appropriate impedance of 50 Ω, 52 Ω, 75 Ω, or 93 Ω. The RF industry uses accepted type-names for coaxial cables. Thanks to television, RG-6 is the a lot of frequently acclimated coaxial cable for home use, and the majority of access alfresco Europe are by F connectors.87

Coaxial cables alter from added cloistral cables acclimated for accustomed lower abundance signals, such as audio signals, in that the ambit of the cables are controlled to accord a precise, affiliated aqueduct spacing, which is bare to action calmly as a radio abundance manual line.88

Coaxial cables accomplish at abundant college frequencies than UTPs.89 While 600 MHz ability be acid bend for a askance pair, a coaxial cable can handle this abundance easily.90

While coaxial cables can go best distances and accept bigger aegis from EMI than askance pairs, coaxial cables are harder to plan with and added difficult to run from offices to the base closet. For these reasons, it is now about getting replaced with bottom big-ticket UTP cables for continued distances (less than 100 meters or 328 feet) or by cilia optic cables for added capacity.91

Limitations in the achievement of chestnut cables are abased aloft admeasurement of the cable (e.g., abate coaxials plan bigger at top frequencies) and admeasurement of the affairs (e.g., abate affairs accept college losses). Therefore, there are abstract limitations to both coaxial cables and askance pairs. Coaxial achievement is getting approached with new developments in askance pairs.92

Today, abounding CATV companies still use top achievement coaxial cables into homes. These cables, however, are added affiliated to a cilia optic abstracts communications arrangement alfresco of the home. Debates appear apropos chestnut vs. cilia vs. wireless on bounds cabling. This is abnormally accurate for Local Area Arrangement (LAN) cabling area both cilia and chestnut may be applicable options.93

Most architecture administration systems use proprietary chestnut cabling (e.g., thermostat wiring), as do paging/audio apostle systems. Security ecology and access systems, absolutely the lower amount ones, still depend on copper, although higher-security facilities, like government and aggressive installations, use fiber, which is added big-ticket and added secure.94
