Major Custom Cable offers triaxial cables to meet the needs of customers seeking a cable that provides more bandwidth and rejection of interference than traditional coax. Triaxial cables, often referred to as triax for short, are essentially coaxial cables with an added outer copper braid (or a shield), which is insulated from the signal-carrying conductors. The shield is grounded and passes both ground loop and capacitive field noise currents away from the signal-carrying coax.

Triax cabling can also be used in “driven shield” applications, where the inner conductor and the first braid are driven in parallel at the transmitting end, and work against the outer braid that’s insulated above ground. The inner braid is left floating at the receiving end, providing a sort of “Faraday shield” (which protects the internal conductors from electrical noise) between the inner conductor and outer braid.

Our comprehensive offering of triax cables can be used for flexible or permanent installs with multiple jacket options. Major Custom Cable exclusively uses Kings brand connectors to ensure the highest quality. Common applications include analog video cameras in the broadcast and television industry.
