Theory and Application
The proper selection and application of cables requires a
knowledge of factors not involved in other types of cables.
The following paragraphs have been prepared to aid in the
selection of proper coax cable:
Signal Integrity and Propagation
Toexplain how to maintain signal integrity, it is necessary
toreview how the signal is configured in a cable and how
itpropagates. Ignoring digital signals for this discussion
we will identify the issues that deal with the integrity of a
sine wave. Consider a coaxial cable consisting of an inner
conductor surrounded by a dielectric material and then an
outer conductor (See Figure 1). The outer conductor
may be a braid, a foil, or a solid metal.
An electromagnetic wave traveling in a coaxial cable
produces an electric and a magnetic field between the
inner conductor and the outer conductor (Figure 2).
The electric (E field) is radial and varies in time. An
alternating current flows along the inner conductor and
the outer conductor. An oscillating magnetic field (H field)
circles the inner conductor.
The alternating current on a conductor is not spread
throughout the conductor but is strongest at the surface
and decays exponentially at points further into the
conductor. This is called the skin effect. At a frequency of
1MHz, three skin depths is 0.0078” (95% of the current
is within three skin depths of the surface) and at 10GHz
three skin depths is 0.00078”. As a result, the current is on
the outer surface of the inner conductor and the inner sur-
face of the outer conductor over the entire range of interest
for most RF systems. The dimensions and material beyond
several skin depths have no effect on the wave; gold plated
plastic will propagate as well as gold plated copper at
sufficiently high frequencies.

Velocity of Propagation
When an electromagnetic wave travels in a medium other
than air or vacuum, the velocity for the wave is reduced by
afactor of the square root of the dielectric constant ( ε) of
the media. The velocity (v) of the propagation of a signal is
given by: c
v= __
ε
Where c is the speed of light, 3 x 108m/sec or 1.18 x 1010
in/sec, and εis the dielectric constant of the medium.
(See Table 1 for dielectric constants of various materials)

Attenuation
Awave loses energy (attenuates) in several ways: (1) The
resistance of the inner and outer conductors is small but
can be significant over long lengths and will produce some
heat. (2) The dielectric may cause loss; it’s resistance is
high but not infinite, and some energy is lost.
(3) Electromagnetic energy radiates at high frequencies;
significant energy losses are caused by radiation of
electromagnetic energy (the cable acts like an antenna).
(4) Energy is reflected due to impedance mismatches or
impedance discontinuities. The combination of these four
types of losses are referred to as the insertion loss of a
transmission line system.
Characteristic Impedance
Aparameter which defines the behavior of a cable,
connector, or any propagating system is Characteristic
Impedance,Zo. The characteristic impedance of a loss-
less cable is related to the inductance per unit length, L,
and the capacitance per unit length, C, as follows:
Zo = L/C in ohms
The equivalent circuit of a transmission line is shown in
Figure 4. R represents the conductor resistance for a unit
length.

Reflections
When the characteristic impedance changes in a transmis-
sion line system, part of an incident wave is reflected. The
reflection coefficient can be calculated as:
ViZR- ZO
Reflection Coefficient = ρ=___ =________
VRZR+ ZO
Where Vi and Zo are the incident voltage and impedance of
the first media. VRand ZRrepresent the reflected voltage and
impedance of the media that caused the reflection. The
decibel loss due to reflection is given by:
1
Return Loss = 10 Log10 (____ )dB
1-ρ2
VSWR
The traditional way to determine the
reflection coefficient is to measure
the standing wave caused by the
superposition of the incident wave
and the reflected wave. Traditionally
the voltage is measured at a series
of points using a slotted line. The
ratio of the maximum divided by the
minimum is the Voltage Standing
Wave Ratio (VSWR). The VSWR is
infinite for total reflections because
the minimum voltage is zero. If no
reflection occurs the VSWR is 1.0.
VSWR and reflection coefficient are
related as follows:
VSWR = (1 + ρ)/(1 - ρ)
Present instrumentation measures
the return loss.
Figure 5 represents the relationship
between VSWR and its equivalent
in return loss (expressed in dB).
Figure 5
VSWR vs. Return Loss
Multiple Reflections
If there is a series of impedance changes, each one will
cause a reflection. The total reflection is the vector
addition of each of the individual coefficients accounting
for the distance between discontinuities. Even though
the calculations are difficult, a total VSWR can still be
measured.
For a coaxial cable the characteristic
impedance is given by:
138 D
Zo = x Log10 in ohms
εd
where “D” is the inner diameter of the outer conductor and
“d” is the outer diameter of the inner conductor, respective-
ly. Similar equations apply for other geometries such as
two parallel wires.
As can be observed from this equation, the impedance is a
function of the diameters. Generally the conductor diameter
can be very accurately controlled, but the dielectric diameter
can vary based on the accuracy of the process. If the
impedance changes are a consistent spacing of one 1/4
wavelength, this can cause significant signal loss.

Technical
Information
Conductor - Materials/Construction:
Conductor Material:
The ability of a material to act as a conductor, semi-con-
ductor or insulator is determined by that material's
molecular structure.
Copper
Copper is by far the most versatile and the most widely
used conductor material. It is also compatible with numer-
ous coatings to enhance termination and retard corrosion.
Annealed copper conductors provide better flex life than
hard copper conductors.
Copper Clad Steel
Copper covered steel is utilized when greater strength
than that of solid copper conductor is required and where
some of the conductivity of solid copper can be sacrificed.
Copper clad steel consists of a steel core with a concen-
tric copper covering thoroughly bonded to it. The most
widely used grades are:
High Strength - 40% Conductivity
High Strength - 30% Conductivity.
The above conductivity is expressed in terms of con-
ductivity of a solid copper wire of equal diameter.
Where greater flexibility is necessary, the annealed
grade should be specified since it employs a soft steel
core with the flexibility near that of copper but with twice
the strength. High strength will be achieved by using the
hard drawn form. In the applications of high frequency
transmission, no loss of conductivity is evident from that
of solid copper due to transmission along the copper
surface (skin effect). However, at power frequencies, the
conductivity is 30 or 40% that of copper wire.
High Strength Alloys
Greater breaking strength and flex life are achieved by
alloying copper with cadmium chromium, cadmium,
chromium and zirconium. With only a slight increase in
resistivity compared with copper clad steel, these alloys
allow size and weight reduction to be achieved in
electronic and aerospace applications.
Cadmium Chromium copper provides the highest
conductivity of the above four alloys and is suitable for
high temperature application.

Copper Conductors:
Resistivity
All conductor materials possess resistance to
pass electrical energy.
Ampacity
Ampacity (or current carrying capacity) is determined
byanumber of factors;
1. The maximum continuous thermal performance of
the covering insulation,
2. By the heat generated in the cable
(result of conductor and insulation loses) and
3. By the heat-dissipating properties of the cable
and its environment.
Heat generated in a conductor varies as the square of the
applied current. The factors influencing current carrying capacity
are:
*Conductivity of Conductor Material - The higher con-
ductivity materials such as silver and copper possess higher
current carrying capacity compared with alloys or aluminum
hence generating less heat.
*Conductor Size- Ampacity varies directly with conductor size
and will increase as the diameter increases.
*Insulation Material - The specific heat of the insulating
material will determine its ability to conduct heat through the
wall to the surrounding medium (air, water, etc.) In no case
should the conductor temperature exceed the thermal rating of
the insulation.
*Surrounding Temperature - Ambient conditions such as a
higher air temperature will reduce heat transfer away from the
conductor.
Stranding
Stranded conductor constructions were developed as a means of
overcoming the rigidity of solid wires. For any given wire size, the
greater the number of strands with corresponding decrease in
individual strand size, the more flexible and costly the conductor.
An increase in diameter must be associated with the use of
stranded wires; resistance and weight are affected as well,
depending on the number of strands and lay length used.
There are specific numbers of strands which lend themselves to
round configurations, i.e., 7, 12, 19, 27 and 37. Normally beyond
37 strands, rope type constructions are utilized consisting of 7 or
19 strand groups.

Technical
Information
Strand Construction
Bunched - Conductor strands of any number twisted togeth-
er in the same direction without regard to the geometric
arrangement.
Bunch Stranding
True Concentric - Acentral wire surrounded by layers
of helically laid wires. Each layer has reversed lay
direction and an increasing lay length in each
succeeding layer. The inner layer will support the
outer layers to prevent migration of strand that can
occur in bunch constructions.
True Concentric and Equilay Stranding
Unidirectional Concentric - Acentral wire surrounded by one
or more layers of helically laid wires with same direction of
lay and increasing lay length in each
succeeding layer. It has an advantage of much greater
flexibility and flex life than true concentric.
Unilay - Amulti-layer of helically laid wires with the same
direction and same lay length for each layer.
Unidirectional Concentric and Unilay Stranding
Equilay - Composed of multi-layers of helically laid wire,
with the direction of lay reversed for succeeding layers. As
the name designates, all layers have equal lay length.
Rope - Is cabled groups of any of the above stranded
members. It is standard to use a number of groups that
provide a round construction (7, 13, 19, 27). Rope lay is
basically used for large gauge (No. 10 AWG and larger)
constructions that consist of a central core stranded
member surrounded by one or more layers of stranded
members.
Rope Stranding
Conductor Coatings
Bare copper conductor will oxidize from exposure to the
atmosphere forming copper oxide on the surface.
Oxidation and other types of corrosion are accelerated by
the presence of heat, moisture, and some insulating mate-
rials such as rubber. The oxide film is a poor conducting
material and must be removed to assure a good, reliable
terminal connection. To prevent corrosion and enhance
terminating (soldering), bare copper is coated with a metal
that is not susceptible to oxidation and corrosion. Contact
resistance between conductors and terminals is reduced
with coating materials like tin, silver and nickel.
Tin is the most frequently used coating; however, nickel
and silver are used for specific applications.
Tin - The least expensive coating for ordinary usage is tin.
It is a soldering aid and is specified when that type of ter-
minating method is used.
Tinned Copper - Normally a film thickness of 20
micro-inches (.000020") is applied to each strand. The
strands are twisted together to form the tinned copper con-
ductor.
Heavy Tinned Copper - Carries a heavier tin thickness on the
individual strand - 100 micro-inches on smaller than 30
AWG strands; 150 micro-inches on 30 AWG and larger.

Insulation/Jacket
Introduction:
Based on the requirements the best insulating material for
the application will be selected. The selection may involve
examination of many different performance properties. The
properties are addressed in the following sections and
tables.
General Terms:
Thermoplastic: Materials that soften and flow when heated.
Usually possess a definite melting point. The material will
become firm again upon cooling. These materials can be
molded and shaped with a heating and cooling process.
(This process can be repeated.) Extrusion of melt flow
polymers on wire is an example of this type of material.
Thermoset: Materials are soft and pliable during one stage
of processing, can be molded and extruded at this state
after which they are set or cured, usually at a higher tem-
perature. After the setting process (cross linking) is com-
plete they cannot be softened by reheating, hence heat
and solvent resistance properties are improved over ther-
moplastic materials.
Insulation: Materials possessing good dielectric properties
used on wire components in cable usually as direct cover-
ing on conductors.
Jacket: Materials that provide a protection in mechanical
and chemical properties applied as a direct covering over
cable components. The choice of materials for cable
design to satisfy any given combination of installation and
environmental conditions can often be more critical than
the electrical requirements.

1Properties based on expansion level
Prefused Copper - Consists of twisted strands of heavy
tinned copper fused with heat along the length.
Overcoated Copper - Consists of tinned strands of copper
twisted together followed by a tin coating over the twisted
conductor. The finished product is bonded along its entire
length.
Topcoated Copper - Consists of bare copper strands twisted
together, with the resulting conductor given a coating of
tin. The finished product is bonded along its entire length.
Silver - Silver is primarily electroplated to copper and then
drawn down to the proper conductor size with a resulting
40 micro-inch coating. Silver-coated conductors are reli-
able for continuous temperature application through
200°C. Although higher in cost than tinned
copper, silver coated conductors have a lower
resistance, than either tin or nickel coated conductors.
At higher frequencies, the current density is at the
conductor surface (skin effect) thereby making this
highly conductive coating material the most effective
of all coatings.
Nickel - Nickel plating is considered suitable for continuous
service up to 260°C. At these elevated temperatures, nick-
el does not tarnish as does silver.

General Properties of Insulation Compounds
The primary insulation material is the most important of the
cable materials for overall performance reasons.
sVo
ltage dielectric for higher voltage charge at the
conductor surface.
s
Low loss material for higher frequency signal cables.
s
Heat resistance in high temperature environments.
s
Low temperature flexibility.
s
Toughness for cut-through, abrasion and
crush resistance.
Insulation compounds serve an electrical function first.
Secondary properties consider the environmental factors.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): This material is available in many for-
mulations tailored to meet specific needs. Madison
provides two (2) basic types:
Plasticized flexible materials for 80°, 90°, and 105°C
applications.
Semi-rigid compounds rated at 80°C that can be made
asthin wall products (8-9 mils).
PVC compounds are moderately good dielectric materials.
Depending on the formulation, the dielectric constant can
vary from 3 to 6. Formulations typically include the PVC resin,
plasticizer, stabilizer, flame retardants, fillers, and
specialty additives.
PVC compounds are limited to 105°C temperature
applications and a cold environment of -40°C. Plasticizers
can migrate from the compound causing the material to
become brittle, especially at lower temperatures.

Polyolefins
Polyolefins are made up of a family of hydrocarbons similar
in nature to paraffin oils and waxes. Over the past few
decades they have been the most common of insulation
materials because of a number of superior characteristics,
low cost and availability.
Polyethylene: It is specified by general classifications of densi-
ty (low, medium, and high). Combined high performance of
electrical and physical properties have made
this versatile polymer widely accepted.
Electrical performance of polyethylene is excellent. Dielectric
quality is known by a high dielectric strength (volts per mil),
low dielectric constant, low dissipation factor and high
insulation resistance. These properties are stable over a
broad range of frequencies and temperature.
Physical properties of polyethylene are generally considered
good except for fire resistance and ultra-violet resistance
(weatherability). Modifiers are used to tailor specific improve-
ments in these areas.

Polypropylene: This polyolefin material is characteristic in
many ways to high density polyethylene; electrical and chem-
ical resistance are similar. It has superior physical properties
such as abrasion, cut through, and heat resistance; however,
it has a lower density. It is flammable, but flame retardant
grades can be made available. It is preferred to polyethylene
for stress crack resistance applications. Much of polypropy-
lene is used in telecommunication cables for physical and
dielectric quality.
Cellular Polyolefin: Dielectric improvements in capacitance
within insulations are provided by production of a cellular
structure in the finished insulation. Processes of producing an
inert gas in the polymer melt are controlled in the extruder
and the resulting extrudate can be provided with a variation
in the amount of voids (air to solid regions). This allows con-
trol over the dielectric constant and dissipation factor.
Polyolefin dielectric constant (typically 2.27) can be lowered
to 1.55 by expansion.
Flame Retardant Polyethylene: Compounds of polyethylene
employing fire retardant additives are available, but there is
some sacrificing of properties to consider when designing
these materials into electrical wire applications.
Non Halogen Compounds:
Over the past few years, non halogen, flame retardant,
reduced emissions compounds have been developed in
response to a growing demand for products which offer
greater protection against fatalities, injuries and property
damage from fire. When burned, cables made with non-
halogen flame retardant compounds give off as little as
one-quarter the smoke and fumes of conventional cable
materials. These compounds have good crush and deforma-
tion resistance, good flexibility, excellent long term aging
properties plus physical integrity at low temperatures.

Fluorocarbons
There are a number of fluorocarbon resins available as insu-
lating materials. Each fluorocarbon type is distinctly different,
however they all can be classified as highly fire resistant and
physically and electrically stable at elevated temperature.
FEP: FEP has a service temperature of 200°C with excellent
electrical properties - dielectric constant (2.1) and dissipation
factor (.001) that is consistent through its maximum operating
temperature and frequency range.
Low temperature properties of FEP are similar to those of TFE
resulting in a -65°C rating. FEP insulated wire can be sup-
plied in long continuous lengths allowing it to service a wider
range of applications. FEP cannot be used in applications
where thermosetting quantities are required (solder iron or
short term overload). Along with the inherent flame resis-
tance, this material is widely used in plenum cable applica-
tions because it produces low smoke in fire events.
PFA: PFA has a 260°C temperature rating, therefore it is an
excellent choice for wiring requiring TFE properties and long
lengths.
ETFE (Tefzel®): For application where properties
of FEP are needed, with better chemical resistance.
ECTFE (Halar®):This material is slightly different from ETFE in
chemical resistance, cross-linking ability, electrical,
physical and thermal properties.
Like FEP and TFE, ECTFE is not useful where corona
conditions prevail as in high voltage applications. As with
other resins, irradiation cross-linking improves stress crack
resistance. ECTFE ranks among the most radiation resistant
polymers comparing with ETFE and polyethylene in this
property.
PVDF (Kynar®): This material is rated for continuous use
over a temperature range of -65° to 125°C. It has good resis-
tance to corrosive chemical and organic solvents. Although
this material is very hard with high tensile strength, abrasion
resistance and excellent cut-through, limitations of flexibility
are evident. It is resistant to creep and fatigue. It can be used
in exterior applications because it is stable in sunlight and
other sources of UV radiation.

Technical
Information
Electrical properties of PVDF are not as good as other
fluoropolymers. Most common use of this material is for
jackets and back panel wire where electrical performance
is not critical. PVDF is highly flame resistant and low smoke
producing finding wide use as plenum cable jackets.
Foam Fluorocarbons: To further improve on the superb proper-
ties of Teflon®FEP, processes have been developed to foam
the FEP, resulting in lower dielectric material. These materials
are increasingly used in plenum applications.
They produce little smoke and minimize dripping and fire
propagation.
Jacket Compounds
Jacket or sheaths over multicomponent cable or single
components act as a protective covering as well as contain
the component elements and shields. Jackets can be made
semiconductive, depending on the application. Jacket
materials are called upon to be flame resistant, physically
tough, flexible, chemically resistant and to have a good
appearance.
Types
PVC: Is the most widely used non-plenum jacket. A variety of
compounds are available to serve a wide range of
applications. Fire safety is an important role served by
PVC jackets.
Polyurethane: Amaterial used for severe service of
abrasion and cut-through with flexibility. A range of grades
are available to meet various applications, such as extreme
low temperatures.
Polyethylene: Inherent properties make it ideal for direct burial
applications.
Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE): Asuitable replacement
to rubber where the thermosetting properties of rubber are
not critical.
Fluorocarbon: Physical toughness and fire resistant character-
istics override the slight increase in cost. See description of
benefits in the section on dielectric material.

Technical
Information
Shields
The increasing number of high frequency interference
sources has emphasized the necessity for shielding in
electronic equipment. Shields, are used for EMI and RFI
protection.
If a shield is required, the end user has a choice among
several options - braided copper wire; spiral (served) copper
wire; copper and aluminum tapes; laminates of aluminum/
polyester and aluminum/polyester/aluminum with spiral drain
wires for ease of termination; semi-conductive plastics.
The most effective for high frequency applications is a
braided copper shield. For the majority of audio frequency
applications (20 to 20,000 Hz) a coverage of 75% to 85% will
prove effective, but for the high frequency range (3 to 30
MHz) a coverage of 85% to 95% will be necessary to give
adequate protection.
The most economical shield is an aluminum polyester
laminated tape used in conjunction with a drain wire applied
either spirally or longitudinally, directly adjacent to the
aluminum side of the tape. For frequencies up to 400 MHz it
is as effective as a braid copper shield since it provides
100% coverage.
Cables
Cabling ofindividual layers may be either concentric or
bunched. The concentric lay-up consists of a central wire or
filler surrounded by one or more layers of helically laid wires,
with the direction of lay reversed for successive layers and
with the length of lay increasing for each successive layer.
The direction of lay of the outer layer is generally left-hand.
This construction assures cable roundness and greater
mechanical strength. A bunched or unilay cable lay-up
consists of any number of insulated wires cabled together
inthe same direction. It results in a smaller overall cable
diameter, lighter weight, and has greater flexibility than
concentric lay-ups.
Flexibility of a cable is directly related to the lay length of
the individual layers. Usually this is 8 to 16 times the pitch
diameter of each layer; the smaller the lay length, the greater
the flexibility of the cable.
Fillers,are used to round out a cable and obtain symmetry.
Binders and Servers,sometimes needed (depending on con-
struction) to prevent flaring or untwisting of components.
Tapes are frequently placed under the outer jacket as an
added protection against mechanical abuse, and between
overall shields and underlying conductors to prevent physical
damage to the insulation.
