coaxial

In geometry, coaxial means that two or more three-dimensional linear forms share a common axis. Thus, it is concentric in three-dimensional, linear forms.
A coaxial cable, as a common example, is a three-dimensional linear structure. It has a wire conductor in the centre (D), a circumferential outer conductor (B), and an insulating medium called the dielectric (C) separating these two conductors. The outer conductor is usually sheathed in a protective PVC outer jacket (A). All these have a common axis.
The dimension and material of the conductors and insulation determine the cable's characteristic impedance and attenuation at various frequencies.
In loudspeaker design, coaxial speakers are a loudspeaker system in which the individual driver units radiate sound from the same point or axis.
A coaxial weapon mount places two weapons on [roughly] the same axis – as the weapons are usually side-by-side or one on top of the other, they are technically par-axial rather than coaxial, however the distances involved mean that they are effectively coaxial as far as the operator is concerned.

    Question Sky Coax over Ethernet

    OK I now this sounds a bit "wrong way round", but I have good CAT6 connections all over the house from a central "Server Room", where the cables from my Sky Dish come to. In the past, with old Sky HD I have used a good HDMI Matrix to send and control two Sky boxes and a media server around to 4...

    Using a SKY Dish (no box) to connect to Freeview

    Tearing my hair about a bit. I couldn't get Freeview HD using my normal indoor aerial, so I had a bright idea of using my twin SKY leads. I cut them and combined the copper wire and slotted into a booster which at the other end connected to my TV. Voila! It worked. However, some of the non-HD...

    can I mix coax cable? spec me a sat meter too..

    Afternoon, My long running saga with freesat continues. The installer finally came, fiddled with the new dish/lnb for a while and reported back that it would have to be moved. So off he went with promise of returning when I laid a new cement pad elsewhere, and basically i've not heard back...

    Combine optical/coax digital audio with RGB SCART to HDMI?

    I think I've seen boxes (the cheap Chinese/equiv. made things copied by lots of no-brand names for £20-30) that can combine older optical audio (eg 5.1, maybe 7.1 channel DD/DTS or more) with video signal into a single stream and HDMI output. Q: Is there a converter box that combines analog RGB...

    Audio drop-outs when using digital optical or coaxial

    Firstly, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum as my speakers are a package and not individually built/bought speakers. So, I've got a set of Edifier S760D 5.1 speakers (Here) and I've used them for some time now with analog audio inputs from my PC and there's no problem at all. I've...

    Question Is there a way to do wireless TV from coax to other side of room?

    I've been looking on Amazon for an inexpensive way to wirelessly, or via powerline ethernet, send a 1080i TV signal from coax coming from the wall (cable or roof antenna) across a room to my 1080p TV. Running any cable across the room under the carpet isn't something I want to do and I can't run...

    RG59 coaxial cable for digital TV

    Will this work. I stupidly didn't research cable enough and did not realise there is RG59 as well as RG6 cable. What I want to do is run the main aerial from the roof into a 6way booster and then run cables from here to the TV's in the house. Will RG59 cable be sufficient for freeview or do I...

    This is probably a stupid question but i can but ask! I have a mhub 4k and my house is wired for cat 6 and coax to every room. Unfortunately it appears that the wiring to the master bedroom on the cat 6 is faulty and would require opening up work to repair, we are reluctant to do this as we...

    Answered Is the Cable Used for Virgin Tv the Same as Coaxial?

    I am giving up Virgin Tv in favour of Freeview through the roof aerial. I have a secondary tv in the rear extension to which a Virgin engineer ran a cable under the floor a couple of years ago to a second Tivo box. Is it possible to use this cable for Freeview using some sort of adaptor at each...

    Question Connecting Sub Woofer via Coaxial

    A few years ago I had some work done and the guy laid what I believe is a coaxial cable from my amp to a wall plate which terminates in the socket shown in my photo. He made up a cable to connect the wall plate to sub. I think cable is now broken as I keep getting unearthed buzzing sounds from...
