Application No. 08/489,680
an adhesive layer disposed between said center
conductor and said dielectric material for bonding
said dielectric layer to said center conductor; and
an annular outer conductor surrounding said
dielectric material and being adhesively bonded
thereto to form an integral cable core, said outer
conductor comprised of a mechanically and
electrically continuous, non-overlapping, tubular
metallic shield,
wherein said dielectric material has a
predetermined density of at least 0.30 g/cm and a3
corresponding predetermined compressive stiffness of
at least 1000 pounds per linear inch, and wherein
said outer conductor has a predetermined thickness
which is at least 2.5% of its outer diameter such
that the coaxial drop cable can efficiently transmit
electrical power and can be readily flexed while
maintaining the predetermined signal transmission
characteristics.
The references relied on in rejecting the claims follow:

Claims 9-11, 13-20, and 22-25 stand rejected under 35
U.S.C. § 103 as obvious over Fox in view of Wilkenloh. Rather
