Abstract:

The paper describes an improved type of flexible, low-loss coaxial cable with an air-polyethylene dielectric. This new integral-fin semi-solid construction was developed through the use of special extrusion apparatus which produces the entire insulating structure in one continuous, economical operation. The resulting uniform, bonded structure provides protection against surface oxidation of the inner conductor, minimizes distortion of a stranded inner conductor upon bending, and promotes structural stability during subsequent production operations and in cable installation and service. To the coaxial cable user, these improvements add up to greater stability in electrical characteristics during the service life of the cable, along with the well-known semi-solid advantages of lower attenuation at equal diameter or smaller diameter and lighter weight with equal attenuation, in comparison to solid insulated cable.
