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 shield—usually made of rubber, Teflon, or plastic—surrounds the entire cable. [pic] Coaxial cable showing various layers
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

    Coaxial cable conducts electrical signal using an inner conductor (usually a solid copper, stranded copper or copper plated steel wire) surrounded by an insulating layer and all enclosed by a shield, typically one to four layers of woven metallic braid and metallic tape. The cable is protected by an outer insulating jacket. Normally, the shield is kept at ground potential and a voltage is applied to the center conductor to carry electrical signals.…

    Twisted pair comes in two varieties, shield (STP) and unshielded (UTP). The name describes the cabling completely, there are two pairs of cables twisted together in order to reduce cross talk between the wires. Phone line in houses and businesses still use USP for analog telephone and fax machines to this day. UTP comes in many varieties and is constantly being built upon. Cat5e, Cat6, Cat7, and now Cat 8 cables are available to businesses and end users today. With this standard pushing 40 Gigabytes per second the only question remains is what are the full limitations of copper? STP is nothing more than adding extra shielding to reduce crosstalk in the UTP standards. These are extremely cost effective networking cables and are easier to install than coax. Twisted pair is more…

The use of shielded cables in security systems provides some protection from power frequency and radio frequency interference, reducing the number of false alarms being generated. The best practice is to keep data or signal cables physically separated by at least 3 inches (75mm) from 'heavy' power circuits which are in parallel.…

    In cabling you have a coaxial cable, optical cable and a twisted pair cable. Coaxial cable is mostly used on computers out of the three. Coaxial was used in the 1980’s and early 90’s, however they started using it again with broad band and also is used for connecting a dish from a TV to the roof. The data transfer rate of the coaxial cable is 100 Mbps (Megabits per second). Coaxial and twisted pair uses copper cables to transfer their data however Fibre optic cable uses light to transmit the data. Therefore optic cabling is much faster in speed and distance. Also optical cabling has massive bandwidths e.g. A hundred people can use the phone off one optical cable. Optical cabling can be used for telephone wires and broadband. Optical cabling transfer speed is 10 GB/s (gigabytes per second). At this speed you could transfer a Blu-ray movie less than 30 seconds. There are two types of twisted pair cables. One is UTP (Unshielded twisted pair) and STP (Shielded twisted pair). UTP and STP were invented in the 1980’s because of the change of phone technology. These days’ people still use these cables because they are cheaper than optical and coaxial cables. UTP contains eight cables and they come in coloured pairs.…

Air is not particularly good at 'carrying' a magnetic field and so the field around a wire is quite weak. By placing a core inside of a coil the strength of the magnetic field can be increased.…
