vide an adequate trace. The strongest trace will be obtained

8.1.4.4: Coaxial Cable:
Coaxial cable, like that used for cable TV, satellite TV, closed
circuit TV, early LAN systems, etc. is often connected to other

“loads”. Since coaxial cable is self-shielding, the floating
method usually does not work well when tracing the cable.
