Abstract

A flexible coaxial cable assembly that can be efficiently packaged and shipped in segments and installed and assembled in the field. The cable includes strain insulators spaced along the length of the region between the inner and outer conductors to transmit stresses such as differential thermal expansion and contraction between the conductors. The inner conductors of successive cable segments may be rigidly joined to each other to prevent relative movement between the inner conductors of adjacent cable segments. The inner and outer conductors can be corrugated.
