Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A flexible coaxial cable comprises a core including at least one inner conductor and a closed cell foam dielectric surrounding the inner conductor. The flexible coaxial cable also includes a tubular metallic sheath closely surrounding and preferably bonded to the core. The closed cell foam dielectric is a low density polyolefin foam and possesses improved electrical properties over conventional foam dielectrics. The coaxial cable has a velocity of propagation of greater than about 90 percent of the speed of light but still maintains high flexibility and bending characteristics.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 22, 1997 and granted July 3, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 22, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 22, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
