The performance of coaxial cable is described by several parameters, including one called velocity of propagation. Velocity of propagation is the speed at which an electromagnetic wave propagates through a medium such as coaxial cable, expressed as a percentage of the speed of light in a vacuum. For instance, a common velocity of propagation specification for subscriber drop cable is 85 percent, which means the RF signals inside of that drop cable are traveling at 85 percent of the speed of light in a vacuum. This document provides a high-level overview of velocity of propagation and its importance.
