1 Scope
This part of IEC 60966
is a sectional specification that relates to semi-rigid coaxial cable assemblies
operating in the transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM). It specifies the design and
construction, IEC type designation, workmanship, marking and packaging, standard rating
and characteristics, electrical, mechanical and environmental requirements of finished
semi-rigid cable assemblies, quality assessment, delivery and storage, etc.
This part of IEC 60966
applies to semi-rigid cable assemblies composed of semi-rigid coaxial cables and
coaxial connectors. Semi-rigid cable assemblies are widely used in mobile communication
systems, microwave test equipment, radar, aerospace and other fields.
NOTE 1 For the purpose of this sectional specification, a cable assembly is always regarded
as an integral unit. All specifications apply to the finished assembly and not to
individual and non-assembled parts thereof.
NOTE 2 This sectional specification can be supplemented with detail specifications giving
additional details as required by the particular application. This application will
not necessarily require all tests.
