Coaxial cables, sometimes referred to as coax cables, are a kind of electrical cord used as a transmission line for radio frequency signals. Cables.com stocks an assortment of coax cables along with tools and accessories for use at home or in the office. 

What is a coaxial or coax cable? If you've ever had a home entertainment system installed, odds are you've seen one of these electrical cords before. Coax cables are a type of copper-core transmission line used to carry high-frequency electric signals with low loss. They're often used by cable TV companies to connect their satellite antenna networks to your home or business. 

A coaxial cable is generally made up of an inner conductor, which is the aforementioned copper core, contained within a dielectric insulator which is in turn encapsulated by a woven copper shield; all of this is then further protected by an outer plastic sheath. Though it can be considered a shielded cable, or a cable resistant to EMI or electromagnetic interference, the dimensions of the cable and connectors are controlled primarily for the precise conductor spacing it requires in order to act efficiently as a transmission line.
