Coaxial cable, or coax (pronounced / ˈ k oʊ. æ k s /), is a type of electrical cable consisting of an inner conductor surrounded by a concentric conducting shield, with the two separated by a dielectric (insulating material); many coaxial cables also have a protective outer sheath or jacket.
Coaxial cable, or coax (pronounced / ˈ k oʊ. æ k s /) is a type of electrical cable that has an inner conductor surrounded by a tubular insulating layer, surrounded by a tubular conducting shield. Many coaxial cables also have an insulating outer sheath or jacket. The term coaxial comes from the inner conductor and the outer shield sharing a ...
Four stages of skin effect in a coax showing the effect on inductance. Diagrams show a cross-section of the coaxial cable. Color code: black = overall insulating sheath, tan = conductor, white = dielectric, green = current into the diagram, blue = current coming out of the diagram, dashed black lines with arrowheads = magnetic flux (B). The ...
Current in the inner conductor is flowing into the page. Current in the outer conductor is flowing out of the page. No electric field exists inside the conductors, so the Poynting vector in the gray areas is zero. The magnetic fields of inner and outer conductors cancel outside of the cable, so the Poynting vector outside the cable is also zero.

When more than one mode can exist, bends and other irregularities in the cable geometry can cause power to be transferred from one mode to another. The most common use for coaxial cables is for television and other signals with bandwidth of multiple megahertz. In the middle 20th century they carried long distance telephone connections.
