Coaxial: meaning, definitions and examples
๐ก
coaxial
[ kล-หak-sฤ-ษl ]
technical term
Coaxial refers to components that share a common axis. In telecommunications and electronics, coaxial cable is used to transmit radio frequency signals. It consists of a central conductor surrounded by an insulating layer, which is enclosed by a conductive shield. This design minimizes signal interference and provides better performance in data transmission.
Synonyms
Examples of usage
- The installer used coaxial cable for the satellite connection.
- Coaxial connectors are essential for connecting devices securely.
- The network requires coaxial lines for optimal performance.

Etymology
The term coaxial is derived from the Latin prefix 'co-', meaning 'together', and 'axial', which refers to an axis. It reflects the design of coaxial cables and devices that have two or more elements arranged around a common center. The use of coaxial components became significant in the mid-20th century, particularly with the rise of electromagnetic and radio technologies. The coaxial cable, although conceptualized before, gained widespread use in television and data communications, improving signal fidelity and strength. Since then, coaxial technology has been fundamental in various applications, including internet connections, cable television, and telecommunications.
