The invention relates to a coaxial cable as well as to the manufacture of such a cable. The cable has a central conductor and an outer conductor which are separated from each other by an electrically insulating layer the outer conductor being provided, if necessary, with at least a protective coating. In accordance with the invention, the outer conductor of the cable has an electroconductive lacquer layer. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, a metal layer is applied to the lacquer layer. The cables in accordance with the invention can be manufactured much more rapidly than the known cables which have a stranded outer conductor or an outer conductor of metal foil. This advantage occurs in particular in the manufacture of very thin coaxial cables. In addition, the cables in accordance with the invention exhibit a satisfactory electromagnetic shielding.
