The core of a coaxial cable carries the electronic signals that make up the data. This wire core can be either solid or stranded. If the core is solid, it is usually copper. 2. a braided metal shielding, The braided wire mesh acts as a ground and protects the core from electrical noise and crosstalk. (Crosstalk is signal overflow from an adjacent wire. 3. An outer cover. A nonconducting outer shieldâusually made of rubber, Teflon, or plasticâsurrounds the entire cable.

Note:
Shielding protects transmitted data by absorbing stray electronic signals, called noise, so that they do not get onto the cable and distort the data.
Coaxial cable is more resistant to interference and attenuation than twisted-pair cabling. Attenuation is the loss of signal strength that begins to occur as the signal travels farther along a copper cable.

Types of Coaxial Cable
There are two types of coaxial cable: ⢠Thin (thinnet) cable ⢠Thick (thicknet) cable
Which type of coaxial cable you select depends on the needs of your particular
