Yes, under certain circumstances the coax can carry sufficient voltage and current to be lethal if you make contact with the center conductor and ground, and the voltage enters your body. This might happen if you chance to contact the main trunk cable either coming from a downed aerial line or from an in-ground pedestal.
In practice, the coax in the average home does not carry any appreciable voltage, unless coax-based home phone service is present - and then the ring voltage might be sufficient to shock you if you are in contact with the bare conductors.
What else can I help you with?
Attenuation of coaxial cable?
It is the loss of data from the coaxial cable during transmission .
What modem uses coaxial cable?
A coaxial cable has great uses in television antenna connections. TV satellite connections also use coaxial cables to connect decoders to the TV set.
What is the error rate of coaxial cable?
The bit error rate is a standard transmission-error rate of a medium such as copper wire, coaxial cable, or fiber-optic cable. Coaxial cables have a low error rate that is generally 1 in 1 billion bps.
Name the two basic types of transmission line which is most widely used?
coaxial cable and twisted pair cable. coaxial cable is the most widely used type of transmission line.
Round connectors used by coaxial cable?
BNC

Difference between coaxial cable and STP cable used for computer networking?
Difference between coaxial cable and STP cable used for computer networking?
The difference between UTP cable and Coaxial cable?
A UTP cable has 4 pairs of twisted wires. In a coaxial cable, there are two conductors, one inside the other. Since they have a common center, or axis, they are called "coaxial" (co-axial).A UTP cable has 4 pairs of twisted wires. In a coaxial cable, there are two conductors, one inside the other.

Which type of coaxial cable is distinguishable by a yellow jacket?
I have never seen coaxial cable in yellow. Yellow usually denotes a VIDEO cable.
How do the characteristics of coaxial cable compare with twisted-pair cable?
Both the coaxial cable and twisted pair cable have a basic connection medium for network cabling. <<>> Coaxial cable can be used for transmission of RF (radio frequencies) whereas Cat 5 (twisted pairs cable) can not.
