Twinaxial cable

A type of communications cable consisting of two center conductors surrounded by an insulating spacer, which is in turn surrounded by a tubular outer conductor (usually a braid, foil, or both). The entire assembly is then covered with an insulating and protective outer layer. Twinaxial is often thought of as dual-coaxial cable. Twinaxial cable was commonly used with Wang VS terminals, IBM 5250 terminals on System/3x, and AS/400 minicomputers. Also called twinax.
