Abstract

An electrical transmission line of the twisted pair of coaxial cable type is provided. One line has a center conductor, a porous plastic dielectric disposed around the outer periphery of the conductor, the dielectric having specific gravity of 0.5 or less, and having a plastic dielectric sheath disposed around the outer periphery of the porous dielectric, the outer sheath having a melting temperature which is 60% or less than the melting temperature of the porous plastic dielectric. The porous plastic dielectric may be in tape form helically wrapped around the conductor, preferably at a wrap angle of 20 degrees or less. The preferred porous dielectric is expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.
