Poul-Henning I have been unable to find a reference to triax consisting of 3 conductors within a shield, however such confusion is understandable given the confusion over quadrax:- concentric conductors for triax, quadrax, quintax etc: Cable Shielding for Electromagnetic Compatibility By Anatoly Tsaliovich http://www.lemo.com/techlibrary/glossary.jsp?catID=003 Alternate definitions for quadrax (but not triax): http://www.picwire.com/technical/Coax%20vs%20Triax.pdf http://www.ecnmag.com/ethernet-cable-suits-aerospace.aspx?menuid=336 Triax consisting of a central conductor surrounded by 2 concentric conductors is widely used to interconnect televsion cameras.
