Abstract:
A coaxial cable comprising:a central conductor;a dielectric surrounding said central conductor;a first foil shield surrounding said dielectric, said first foil shield having longitudinal opposite portions overlapping and forming a longitudinally-extending seam along a longitudinal length of said cable;a second foil shield, said second foil shield surrounding said first foil shield, said second foil shield in conductive contact with said first foil shield along a longitudinal length of said first foil shield, whereinsaid second foil shield has a thickness equal to or greater than said first foil shield, and wherein said first and second foil shields form an outer conductor of said coaxial cable, and whereinsaid first and second foil shields both provide means for primarily shielding said central conductor against high-frequency RF waves.
