Patent ID: 11942234

Abstract:
A coaxial cable is composed of a conductor, an insulator covering a periphery of the conductor, a shield layer covering a periphery of the insulator, and a sheath covering a periphery of the shield layer. The shield layer is configured to include a lateral winding shielding portion with a plurality of metal wires being helically wrapped around the periphery of the insulator, and a batch plating portion made of a hot-dip plating covering respective peripheries of the lateral winding shielding portion. The shield layer includes a joining portion where the metal wires adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction are joined with each other with the batch plating portion at a spaced portion where the adjacent metal wires are spaced apart from each other, and the non-joining portion where the metal wires adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction are not joined with each other with the batch plating portion at the spaced portion. A length of the non-joining portion along a cable longitudinal direction is shorter than a winding pitch of the lateral winding shielding portion.
