coaxle

Coaxle is a term that refers to a coaxial cable connector. Coaxial cable, often shortened to coax, is a type of electrical cable that contains a central conductor surrounded by an insulating layer, which is then surrounded by a braided metal shield, and finally an outer insulating layer. This construction is designed to carry radio frequency signals, providing good shielding against electromagnetic interference.

The connectors used on coaxial cables, often called coaxle, are crucial for establishing a reliable connection between the cable and electronic devices. These connectors are designed to maintain the impedance of the cable, which is important for signal integrity, especially at higher frequencies. Common types of coaxle connectors include F-connectors, BNC connectors, and SMA connectors, each suited for different applications and frequency ranges.

F-connectors are widely used for cable television and satellite TV installations. BNC connectors are often found in professional video and radio applications. SMA connectors are commonly used in Wi-Fi antennas and other radio frequency devices. The proper installation and mating of coaxle connectors are essential for optimal signal quality and to prevent signal loss or degradation.
