What are the strengths of coax Ethernet?

did this in my college assignment, easy enough. Coaxial cabling: Coaxial cables have a copper rod in the middle that conducts electricity, there is a layer of plastic and metal, the plastic layer is placed between the copper rod and the metal to cancel out any interference (protective shield from the electrical frequencies) that may occur. The cabling can go further than the shielded twisting pair lengths, to support more network devices. Coaxial is also a very popular choice is school networks. There are two types of Coaxial cabling, thick and thin: thick provides extra protection to keep wet and moisture away from the centre rod but is hard to bend and install, has less protection than thick, but is easier to bend and about the same difficulty to install.


Why twisted conductors instead of solid are used?

I suppose you mean cables, made out of many threads. Those are easier to bend, and thus to install. Also, it may help reduce the skin effect - this is especially relevant at high frequencies.
