Can I use a copper wire as a coaxial cable?

You may have heard that there are two kinds of coaxial cables, the ones that have centers made of pure copper and those featuring an inner conductor made of steel and the skin being made of copper. Many people think that it’s true that the steel clad with copper (as it’s referred to) is a fake and should not be used. This isn’t true.
There are two points you should be aware of when talking about cables and their central conductors. The first is that the RF signal that creates your satellite image is only transmitted through the inner conductor’s outer part. This is called the “skin effect” and can be considered one of the major principles in RF theory. In other words, if the only thing you’re carrying is Radiofrequency, what the entire cable is made of is not relevant.
The other thing to be aware of is that copper can be incredibly expensive in the present, which is why it’s common to use the least amount feasible of it. The dimension of the center conductor is set according to the RG6 standard, and it’s not likely to change. Therefore, it is possible to take the steel wire and then copper-plate it. It works just as well and is frequently used to make cable television installations.
However, when you’re carrying power or signal, for whatever reason, you’ll require a solid copper as the center conductor. This is because electrical energy travels better via copper than through steel, and if you’re running current through the wire, it must be made of copper.
Copper Wires’ distinguishing characteristics used to define Coaxial Cables are:
A Superior Conductor of Electricity
Copper is an excellent electricity conductor; it stands out when compared to other materials. This is because it can carry a reasonable amount of electricity.
High-Ductility
Copper can is well-known as a ductile material, which means it can be extended over a long distance without having to break or weaken it. This characteristic is crucial when drawing wires from any metal.
Favorable chemical properties
Copper is resistant to chemically corrosive and abrasive environments that reduce the life of cables. As a result, copper cans withstand harsh climate conditions and last longer.
High-Temperature Tolerance
The process of producing heat occurs by electric current flowing through wires over long periods. The constant fluctuation in the voltage of electric lines with high tension can damage wires, making them less durable. So, using copper with its high-temperature tolerance would be ideal in these situations.
Universal Standard
Copper wires are now a universal or global standard; they are extensively used for electrical usage across the world. This particularity gives them an advantage over other cables. Most copper wires can be easily used in conjunction with the majority of modern electrical wiring requirements and designs.
Ample Quantity:
As per many geophysical studies, copper metal is abundant in the earth’s crust. This makes it affordable and simple to get wires made of copper.
