A line inside a partial enclosure, marking a screened conductor.
Also known as: Coax symbol, Screened cable symbol, Shielded conductor
Coaxial cable is drawn as an inner conductor within an outer screen, which is what the cable physically is. The screen carries the return current and keeps the signal in, so it is a circuit element rather than packaging.
Denotes a cable with a central conductor surrounded by a concentric screen, drawn as a line within a partial enclosure.
Contexts: Technical drawing, Electrical equipment
Shows the screen as a conductor rather than as packaging, because it carries the return current and defines the cable's impedance.

A straight line running through a longer curved or bracket-shaped outline that partly surrounds it.
