What is a typical velocity factor for coaxial cable with polyethylene dielectric?

Correct Answer

0.66

Explanation

Polyethylene is a common dielectric material for coaxial cables. Its dielectric constant results in a velocity factor of approximately 0.66, meaning the wave travels at 66% of the speed of light in vacuum.
