To provide a coaxial cable with a favorable appearance and excellent processability. The above-described problem is solved by a coaxial cable comprising a center conductor (11), an insulator (12) provided on an outer periphery of the center conductor (11), an external conductor (13, 14) provided on an outer periphery of the insulator (12), and an outer coated body (15, 16) covering the external conductor (13, 14). The external conductor (13, 14) is constituted by a lateral winding shield (13) provided with metal fine wires laterally wound on the outer periphery of the insulator (12), and a metal resin tape (14) wound in a layer on the lateral winding shield (13) with a metal layer side being on an inside. The outer coated body (15, 16) is constituted by a resin tape (15) wound on the metal resin tape (14), and an extruded sheath (16) covering the resin tape (15). Given T1 as a thickness of the metal resin tape (14) and T2 as a thickness of the resin tape (15), T2/T1 is within a range from 0.180 to 0.800.

A coaxial cable includes a coaxial wire in which an inner insulator, an outer conductor and a sheath are sequentially and coaxially provided around a center conductor, and a substrate having a surface on which a first contact pad and a second contact pad are arranged. The sheath is removed at one end portion of the coaxial wire by a predetermined length, so that the inner insulator and the outer conductor are exposed, and a tip end of the inner insulator is removed by a predetermined length, so that the center conductor is exposed. The exposed portion of the center conductor is soldered to the first contact pad with the exposed portion of the inner insulator being bent relative to the sheath, and the exposed portion of the outer conductor is soldered to the second contact pad with being bent in a direction different from the bending direction of the inner insulator. A part of the coaxial wire covered by the sheath is standing at an angle of 30° or greater relative to the surface of the substrate.

Tubing encapsulated cable consists of one or more electrical conductors and possibly one or more fiber optic cables sheathed in a corrosion resistant metallic alloy. However, pumping during the installation of tubing encapsulated cable is required to overcome the capstan effect of the tubing encapsulate cable inside the coil tubing as the tubing encapsulated cable travels through the coiled up wraps of coil tubing. In an embodiment of the invention the tubing encapsulated cable consists of one or more electrical conductors and possibly one or more fiber optic cables sheathed in a fiber reinforced composite sheath. Because there is little drag between the fiber encapsulated cable and the coil tubing, conventional pumping operations used to install braided wireline into coil tubing may not be required when installing fiber encapsulated cable into coil tubing. Additionally, the smooth outside surface and relatively small diameter of the fiber encapsulated cable are desirable attributes for well intervention work because the smooth surface is more resistant to chemical attack than braided wire while the smooth surface and relatively small diameter provide little viscous drag while fluids are pumped through the coil tubing in the course of intervention operations.

A helically wound insulated twinax cable reduces cable dielectric loss by increasing the percentage of air in the dielectric filler surrounding the signal conductors. The helical insulator wire winding further provides mechanical support and reduces the risk of creating an electrical short-circuit. This will improve differential signaling capability of the two-conductor cable and enable longer cable range.
