Abstract
Braid configurations in coaxial cables. In one example embodiment, a coaxial cable includes a center conductor surrounded by a dielectric, a first braid surrounding the dielectric, a second braid surrounding and adjacent to the first braid, and a jacket surrounding the second braid. The first braid is formed from a first material that is a conductive material. The second braid is formed from a second material that is more compressible and/or has a lower frictional coefficient than the first material.
Claims24
A coaxial cable comprising:
- a center conductor surrounded by a dielectric;
- a first braid surrounding the dielectric, the first braid formed from a first material comprising a conductive material;
- a second braid surrounding and adjacent to the first braid, the second braid formed from a second material that is more compressible and/or has a lower frictional coefficient than the first material;
- and
- a jacket surrounding the second braid.
A coaxial cable comprising:
- a center conductor surrounded by a dielectric;
- a first braid surrounding the dielectric, the first braid formed from a first material;
- a second braid surrounding and adjacent to the first braid, the second braid formed from a second material comprising a conductive material, the first material being more compressible and/or having a lower frictional coefficient than the second material;
- and
- a jacket surrounding the second braid.
A coaxial cable comprising:
- a center conductor surrounded by a dielectric;
- one or more braids surrounding the dielectric, the one or more braids comprising:
- a plurality of wires formed from a first material;
- and
- a plurality of strands formed from a second material, the first material comprising a conductive material and the second material being more compressible and/or having a lower frictional coefficient than the first material;
- and
- a jacket surrounding the braid.
A coaxial cable comprising:
- a center conductor surrounded by a dielectric;
- a first conductive layer surrounding the dielectric;
- a braid surrounding and adjacent to the first conductive layer, the braid formed from a dielectric material;
