Terminology:Semi-rigid cables
These are coaxial cables with outer conductors made of copper pipes. The characteristic impedance is determined by the ratio of the inner conductor to the outer conductor diameter. The cutoff frequency is determined by the size of the coaxial cable. They are used in many environments, including base stations, communication equipment, measuring instruments, control equipment, and medical equipment.
