What is Coax?

Coaxial cable, or coax, is a type of electrical cable with an inner conductor surrounded by an insulating layer, surrounded by a conductive shielding, with an outer insulating jacket. It is commonly used to transmit radio frequency (RF) signals, such as cable television, internet, and radio communications. It's also used for connecting radio transmitters and receivers with their antennas.
