Abstract
Coaxial cable shielding. In one example embodiment, a coaxial cable includes a center conductor, a dielectric, a tape, and a jacket. The tape defines first and second edge portions that each borders an interior portion. The thickness of the first edge portion is less than the thickness of the interior portion. The dielectric surrounds the center conductor. The tape is wrapped around the dielectric such that the first edge portion overlaps with the second edge portion. The jacket surrounds the tape.
Claims16
A coaxial cable comprising:
- a center conductor surrounded by a dielectric;
- a tape defining first and second edge portions that each borders an interior portion, a thickness of the first edge portion being less than a thickness of the interior portion, the tape being wrapped around the dielectric such that the first edge portion overlaps with the second edge portion, wherein the tape comprises an aluminum layer and a polymer layer adjacent to the aluminum layer, and wherein a thickness of the polymer layer in the first edge portion is less than a thickness of the polymer layer in the interior portion;
- and
- a jacket surrounding the tape.
