Scope: This part of IEC 60966 specifies requirements for radio frequency coaxial cable assemblies operating in the transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM) and establishes general requirements for testing the electrical, mechanical and environmental properties of radio frequency coaxial cable assemblies composed of cables and connectors. Additional requirements relating to specific families of cable assemblies are given in the relevant sectional specifications.
The design of the cables and connectors used will preferably conform to the applicable parts of IEC 61196 and IEC 61169 respectively.
NOTE 1 This document does not include tests which are normally performed on the cables and connectors
separately. These tests are described in IEC 61196-1 (all parts) and IEC 61169-1 respectively.
NOTE 2 Wherever possible, cables and connectors used in cable assemblies, even if they are not described in the IEC 61196 or IEC 61169 series, are tested separately according to the tests given in the relevant generic specification.
NOTE 3 Where additional protection is applied to a cable assembly, the mechanical and environmental tests
described in this document are applicable.Cross References:IEC 62153-4-7:2015IEC 61169-1IEC 61169IEC 62153-4-7IEC 60068-2-11IEC 60966-3 (all parts)IEC 61196 (all parts)IEC 61196IEC 62153-4-6IEC 60068-2-68IEC 60332-1-2IEC 61169 (all parts)IEC 60068IEC 60529IEC 60512-7-2IEC 60512-6-2IEC 60068-2-27IEC 60068-2-42IEC 60068-2-14IEC 60068-2-6IEC 61196-1-119IEC 62037-2IEC 60068 (all parts)IEC 60966-3IEC 60966-2IEC 60966-4 (all parts)IEC 60068-2-78IEC 60966-4IEC 60966-2 (all parts)IEC 61169-1:2013IEC 60332-1-2:2004ISO 9002ISO 9000IEC 60339 (all parts)IEC 61196-1-324ISO/IEC TR 29106ISO 9001:2015All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
