Choosing the best coaxial cable for a new application requires an understanding of the application and of the
range of cables to choose from.
The best choice can only be arrived at by a careful evaluation of the performance and cost trade-offs.

KCI

.HUPDQ .DYLDQ&DEOH,QGXVWULHV.&,

Screening attenuation is the capacity of the outer conductor of a coaxial cable to reduce the strength of
electromagnetic signals coming from the external environment.
The interference signal strikes the screening outer conductor and in passing through the conductive layer
is attenuated to an extent that will be the more accentuated the greater the thickness and coverage of the
screening.

This parameter tells us by how much the interference signal has been reduced having passed through the outer
