Coaxial cable utilizing plated carbon nanotube elements and method of manufacturing same

A cable comprising:

• at least one inner conductor;
• an insulation layer surrounding the inner conductor;
• an outer conductive layer including:
• a carbon nanotube substrate having opposing face surfaces and edges;
• a plurality of metal layers applied as continuous conductive layers over the opposing face surfaces and edges of the carbon nanotube substrate for forming a metallized carbon nanotube substrate;
• the continuous conductive layers including a continuous layer of copper applied as a layer on the carbon nanotube substrate, and a continuous layer of silver applied as a layer on the carbon nanotube substrate, to form a conductive layer of silver and copper;
• the metallized carbon nanotube substrate being wrapped to surround the insulation layer and center conductor for forming the outer conductive layer having the conductive layer of silver and copper as an outermost layer, the carbon nanotube substrate and the conductive layer of silver and copper as an innermost layer over the insulation layer;
• the metallized carbon nanotube substrate being wrapped at a tension around the insulation layer and center conductor, the tension being proportional to the tensile strength of the metallized carbon nanotube substrate.
