Coaxial cable and other coaxial electric conductors

cpc code 46320 covers the production and distribution of coaxial cables and other coaxial electric conductors. These specialized cables are essential components in a wide range of industries, from telecommunications and broadcasting to defense and aerospace. They play a crucial role in transmitting high-frequency signals with minimal signal loss, making them indispensable in modern communication networks and electronic systems.

The production of coaxial cables typically involves several key steps. First, the inner conductor, usually made of copper or aluminum, is extruded and coated with a dielectric material such as polyethylene or Teflon. This dielectric layer acts as an insulator, separating the inner conductor from the outer conductor. The outer conductor, often made of braided copper or aluminum, is then applied around the dielectric layer. Finally, the cable is sheathed in a protective outer layer, such as PVC or polyethylene, to provide additional protection and durability.

The main inputs required for the production of coaxial cables and other coaxial electric conductors include copper or aluminum for the inner and outer conductors, dielectric materials like polyethylene or Teflon for the insulating layer, and various plastics and polymers for the protective sheathing. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as extruders, braiding machines, and cutting tools, are necessary for the manufacturing process.
