That is a description of an ordinary "coaxial cable". There are designators for various specific coaxial cables such as RG-58 and RG-59. See the link for more. Sounds like shielded RG-58 or RG-59 used respectively as listed above for cable TV or RG-59 for satellite TV. If the cable is as large as a human average finger it could be shielded 2-way radio cable which usually is run from the base station to the outside antenna.

In general this would be called a coaxial (co-ax) cable.

These are mostly used for Cablevision and TV antenna signals, 75 ohm coax

A similar type of cable with BNC connectors was used for older Ethernet "ThinNet" networking - (coax Ethernet cabling has been almost totally replaced by twisted pair Ethernet 10BaseT)

How many wire or core in three phase electrical connection and single-phase electrical connection?

A single-phase cable will have a line and a neutral conductor and, possibly, but not necessarily, an earth (ground) conductor. A high-voltage three-phase cable will have three line conductors. A low-voltage three-phase cable is likely to have three line conductors and a neutral conductor.

What are the faults in the cable?

Cable faults are normally categorised as (a) conductor-to-earth (ground) faults, (b) conductor-to-conductor faults, and (c) conductor-to-conductor-to earth (ground) faults. In addition to that, we can categorise them by whether they are 'high-resistance' or 'low-resistance' faults.

Why the cable size is expressed in Sqmm not in diameter regardless of single or stranded conductor?

The cross-sectional area is one of the factors that determines how much current a conductor can carry -this is regardless of the shape of that conductor's cross section (many conductors are not circular). So the diameter is of not much interest.


Why using semiconductor protection for HT cable?

In a HT cable there are 2 layers of semiconductor one on the conductor and second on the XLPE insulation. As we know semiconductor behaves as conductor when temperature rises. So when the HT cable is on load its conductor temperature rises due to this the semicon layer which is on conductor behaves like conductor and as a result overall cross section area is increased. now the second semicon layer which is over XLPE on temp rise behaves as conductor and used for dessipating heat out of conductor as the cable heat due to load.
