Abstract
Semi-bonded shielding in a coaxial cable. In one example embodiment, a coaxial cable includes a center conductor surrounded by a dielectric, an inner conductive tape surrounding the dielectric, a conductive braid surrounding the inner conductive tape, an outer conductive tape surrounding the conductive braid, and a jacket surrounding the outer conductive tape such that the strip of bonding agent semi-bonds the outer conductive tape to the jacket. The outer conductive tape includes an aluminum layer, a polymer layer adjacent to the aluminum layer, and a strip of bonding agent adjacent to the aluminum layer. The strip of bonding agent covers between about 10% and about 33% of a surface of the aluminum layer.
