Abstract:
A coaxial cable may include an inner conductor, an outer conductor and a dielectric material layer therebetween. The outer conductor may include a tubular bimetallic layer and may have a pair of opposing longitudinal edge portions at a longitudinal seam. The tubular bimetallic layer may include an inner metal layer and an outer metal layer bonded thereto and coextensive therewith. In addition, the opposing longitudinal edge portions may be angled outwardly to define a pair of adjacent outwardly extending tabs.

The inner conductor may include a tubular bimetallic layer having a pair of opposing longitudinal edge portions at a longitudinal seam. The tubular bimetallic layer may include an inner metal layer and an outer metal layer bonded thereto. At least one of the opposing longitudinal edge portions may define at least one folded edge portion including an end portion of the inner metal layer extending beyond a corresponding end portion of the outer metal layer and being folded adjacent thereto and defining a non-joined interface therewith. The longitudinal seam may include a welded joint between at least portions of the inner metal layer.

Abstract:
A jumper coaxial cable assembly includes a jumper coaxial cable and at least one solder-type connector secured thereto. The cable may include an outer conductor, which, in turn, includes aluminum with a tin layer thereon. The tin layer permits an aluminum outer conductor to be used, yet facilitates soldering of the solder-type connector onto the outer conductor. The tin layer may be a tin alloy, such as a tin/lead alloy, for example. The outer conductor may have a continuous, non-braided, tubular shape, and the tin layer may extend continuously along an entire length of the outer conductor. The tin layer may be readily formed by tin plating during manufacturing of the jumper coaxial cable. The jumper coaxial cable assembly may be joined to a main coaxial cable and/or to electronic equipment.

A coaxial cable may include an inner conductor, an outer conductor, and a dielectric material layer therebetween. The outer conductor may include a tubular bimetallic layer having a pair of opposing longitudinal edges at a longitudinal seam. The tubular bimetallic layer may include an inner metal layer and an outer metal layer bonded thereto with the outer metal layer having a lower melting point than the inner layer. At least one of the opposing longitudinal edges of the tubular bimetallic layer may be at least partially beveled. In addition, the longitudinal seam may include a welded joint between at least portions of the opposing longitudinal edges.
