Abstract
A flexible coaxial cable includes an inner conductor, and a dielectric layer generally surrounding the inner conductor. A tape outer conductor generally surrounds the dielectric layer, and does not underlie another electrically conductive layer such as a braided wire layer. The tape outer conductor includes a surface defining a plurality of indentations for minimizing damage to the tape outer conductor resulting from repeated flexing of the cable. The cable may include an insulating jacket generally surrounding the tape outer conductor.
