Types of Cable
- Shielded twisted pair: eliminates inductive and capacitive problems (noise)- 75-99%
- Flexible Coaxial cable: most common -"flexible" -eliminates noise 75-99%
- Triaxial cable: eliminates noise 99.999999%
- Semirigid coaxial cable: eliminates noise 100%

Types of Connectors
- BNC: easy engagement and disengagement -spring-loaded release used in low frequency applicatons (<4GHz)
- TNC: easy engagement and disengagement (< 11GHz) -threaded release -used where vibration is a problem
- SHV: high voltage applications
- SMA: threaded -used where vibration is a problem -used in radar, avionics and microwave communications and instrumentation
