coaxial
Sharing an axis
Coaxial describes things that share a common axis—aligned along the same central line.
The term appears most often in coaxial cable, a type of electrical cable with a central conductor surrounded by insulation and an outer conductor, both arranged concentrically around the same axis.
The TV was hooked up with a coaxial cable.
