Characteristic impedance (Should match with impedance of other network components).
Frequency of application as it determines the attenuation of your signal, the higher the frequency the higher the attenuation.
Operational power handling capabilities
Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR)
Environmental conditions (Determines the level of cable flexibility, shielding & cladding material etc.)
Noise handling (The symmetry of signal and returning current carrying conductors cancels, to first order, all effects of external electromagnetic fields. Any residual susceptibility in a coaxial cable results from imperfections in its shield)
Phase Delay (Time delay for each frequency component)
