The capacitance per unit length of coaxial cable (“coax”) is an important property of the cable, and this is the formula used to calculate it.

(Note that such electrical conductors are sometimes referred to as “electrodes,” but more correctly, they are “capacitor plates.”) The space between capacitors may simply be a vacuum, and, in that case, a capacitor is then known as a “vacuum capacitor.” However, the space is usually filled with an insulating material known as a dielectric.
