Abstract
A coaxial cable for outdoor use having at least one center conductor, at least one dielectric around the conductor with enhanced Structural Return Loss features, a woven braided shield wrapped around the dielectric with superior BNC connector pull testing features, a substantially water-proof insulating jacket wrapped around the shield, and dry floodant dispersed along the interior surface of the jacket. Additionally, an inline protector is connected to at least one end of the cable. In the case where the inline protector is female, the invention contemplates a male BNC connector crimped to the end of the cable for attachment to the protector. A kit includes a length of coaxial cable, an inline protector, and, in certain specific embodiments, a male connector to connect the cable to a female protector port.
