ABSTRACT:
A coaxial cable of the type used for a drop cable for cable television includes flat reinforcing wires forming a reinforcing covering for a foil shield. The coaxial cable includes an elongate center conductor, a surrounding dielectric material, and an outer conductor including the foil shield and the plurality of flat reinforcing wires forming the reinforcing covering for the shield. The flat reinforcing wires may be braided or may be wrapped to form a served covering. The flat wires are preferably sized to have a greater strength than conventional round wires. Therefore, a method for manufacturing the cable may advantageously include the steps of applying the flat wires and extruding an outer protective jacket continuously in tandem to thereby increase manufacturing efficiency.
