A coaxial cable includes: a metallic inner conductor formed of a first material and having a first thickness; a dielectric layer circumferentially surrounding the inner conductor formed of a second material and having a second thickness; a metallic outer conductor circumferentially surrounding the dielectric layer formed of a third material and having a third thickness; and a polymeric jacket circumferentially surrounding the outer conductor formed of a fourth material and having a fourth thickness.

Coaxial cable having wide continuous usable bandwidth

A coaxial cable is provided with a specially prepared precoat layer that facilitates removal of the precoat layer when the end of the cable is cored in preparation for receiving a connector. The cable includes an inner conductor; a foam polyolefin dielectric layer surrounding the inner conductor; an outer conductor surrounding said dielectric layer; and a precoat layer disposed between the inner conductor and the dielectric layer. The precoat layer forms a first bond interface with the inner conductor and a second bond interface with the dielectric layer, wherein the ratio of the axial shear adhesion force of the first ('A') bond to the axial shear adhesive force of the second ('B') bond is less than 1, and wherein the ratio of the axial shear adhesion force of the &#x201c;A&#x201d; bond formed by the precoat layer between the inner conductor to the dielectric layer to the rotational shear adhesion force of the bond is 5 or greater.

A communications cable is provided having a support strand and at least one coaxial cable helically wound around the support strand. The coaxial cable includes an inner conductor, a dielectric surrounding the inner conductor, an outer tubular metallic sheath surrounding the dielectric, and optionally a protective jacket surrounding the metallic sheath. The communications cable is manufactured such that the ratio of the length of coaxial cable to the length of support strand is between about 1.005 and 1.015. The communications cable is also preferably wound around the support strand using a varying lay length thereby minimizing signal loss due to cable damage. The communications cable of the invention is especially suitable for aerial installation and may be installed in one pass, without the need to form expansion loops in the coaxial cable.
