Abstract
The present invention provides a coaxial cable having increasing moisture absorbency to remove moisture present in the cable and to prevent corrosion of the conductors in the cable. The coaxial cable of the invention includes an inner conductive tube, a moisture-absorbent material within the inner conductive tube, a dielectric surrounding the inner conductive tube, and a tubular metallic outer sheath surrounding the dielectric. The present invention further includes a method of making a coaxial cable that is capable of absorbing moisture that is present in the cable.
