Abstract
A coaxial cable structure incorporating a physical interruption in the outer jacket or sheath of the cable. This interrupts the continuity of the outer conductor and serves to block DC (direct current) and low frequency electrical signals. Also, it greatly reduces heat transmission along the cable. The interruption is achieved by placing a specially fabricated stub in series with the coaxial cable. The resulting coaxial cable assembly acts like a band-pass filter which, although blocking DC and lower frequency electrical signals, is able to transmit RF (radio frequency) signals at selected frequencies. The entire assembly, including the stub, can be made hermetic.
