Abstract
Significantly enhanced bending characteristics are provided in a coaxial cable by reducing the stiffness of the tubular sheath in relation to the stiffness of the core. The cable comprises a core including at least one inner conductor and a low loss dielectric surrounding the inner conductor, and an electrically and mechanically continuous tubular metallic sheath closely surrounding the core and being adhesively bonded thereto, the ratio of the stiffness of the core to the stiffness of the tubular sheath being greater than 5.
