Radio jets have now been resolved in many X-ray binaries in the low/hard state, and it seems likely that jets are present whenever this state is achieved. The associated flat-to-inverted synchrotron radio emission strongly correlates with the X-ray emission in several sources, suggesting that the jet plasma also plays a role at higher energies. We discuss how synchrotron emission from the jets may contribute in the X-rays, as well as inverse Compton up-scattering, and present applications of the model to several low-mass X-ray binaries. We emphasize the importance of disentangling a jet contribution from that of the disk/corona in the X-ray frequencies.
