**Coaxial cable**
A cable that is used in video, communications and audio. This type of cable has high bandwidths and greater transmission capacity. Most users relate to a coaxial or coax cable as a cable used to connect their TVs to a cable TV service. However, these types of cables are also used in networks and today are often connected to cable modems to provide users with broadband Internet access.
To the right is a picture of what a coaxial cable looks like. As can be seen in this example the cable is a thick cable with a metal male connector end that is screwed onto a female connector.
