What is coaxial cable?

Coaxial cable is a type of electrical cable that has an inner conductor surrounded by an insulating layer, surrounded by a conductive shielding, all enclosed by an outer insulating jacket. It is commonly used to transmit radio frequency (RF) signals, such as cable television, internet, and connecting radio transmitters and receivers with their antennas.
