Coaxial cables are perhaps the most common, basic and easy-to-understand cables. Basically, they are used to transmit electrical energy, or signals, from one location to another: to connect a source to a load, such as a transmitter to an antenna. Coaxial cable (coax) is typically identified or classified according to its impedance or RG-type; for example, a 50-ohm coax or an RG-8 type. A coaxial cable consists of two conductors separated by a dielectric material. The center conductor and the outer conductor, or shield, are configured in such a way that they form concentric cylinders with a common axis (hence co-axial).
