Q18: What is Coaxial Cables?
A18:Coaxial cable is a type of communication cable in which a solid
center conductor is surrounded by an insulating dielectric which in turn
is surrounded by an outer conductor (usually a braid, foil or both). The
entire assembly is then covered with an insulating jacket. Coaxial cables
have a wide bandwidth and are capable of carrying many data, voice, and
video conversations simultaneously.
There are two major types of coaxial cabling used with Ethernet. One is
Thicknet and another is Thinnet.
