Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A coaxial cable includes a center conductor, an insulating foam provided to cover an outer periphery of the center conductor, and a protruding portion provided around an outer surface of the insulating foam to absorb stress. The protruding portion has a waved shape that oscillates in a circumferential direction of the insulating foam.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A coaxial cable, comprising: a center conductor; an insulating foam provided to cover an outer periphery of the center conductor; and a protruding portion provided around an outer surface of the insulating foam configured to absorb stress, wherein the protruding portion comprises a waved shape that oscillates in a circumferential direction of the insulating foam, wherein the protruding portion is provided in a longitudinal direction of the insulating foam, and includes periodic bends in the circumferential direction of the insulating foam. 2. The coaxial cable according to claim 1 , wherein the protruding portion comprises a helical shape in a central axis direction of the insulating foam. 3. The coaxial cable according to claim 1 , wherein the protruding portion comprises two or more protruding portions and a distance between adjacent protruding portions is not smaller than 1.5 mm and not greater than 10.75 mm. 4. The coaxial cable according to claim 1 , further comprising: an outer conductor provided around an outer periphery of the insulating foam to cover the outer periphery of the insulating foam, wherein the protruding portion comprises a shape in which a contact area with the outer conductor is smaller than a contact area in an entire surface contact at a cross section in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the insulating foam. 5. A coaxial cable, comprising: a center conductor; an insulating foam provided to cover an outer periphery of the center conductor; and a protruding portion provided around an outer surface of the insulating foam configured to absorb stress, wherein the protruding portion comprises a waved shape that oscillates in a circumferential direction of the insulating foam, wherein a bend pitch of the protruding portion is not smaller than 10 mm and not greater than 20 mm. 6. The coaxial cable according to claim 1 , wherein a height of the protruding portion is not smaller than 0.1 mm and not greater than 0.5 mm, and a width of the protruding portion is not smaller than 1.0 mm and not greater than 10 mm.
