Howdy

A while back somebody was asking about triaxial cable, (dual shielded)
for use on mentioned VTVM's for the AC Probe.  It is not a real readily
available cable I find.

However in the course of daily repair, while reterminating a charger
cord for a laptop I found this.

Dell Laptop PC, Inspiron Model 600 (maybe others too) with charger/AC
supply PA-1650-05D uses a triaxial cable to the PC.  It charges and 
also has a third lead for battery sensing.

There are probably a lot of these around computer places as am sure
most don't fix them, just replace 'em.  It is about 6ft long and would
make nice lead for a 410B.  Insulation is not very high temp so watch
it when soldering.
