IEC 60966-2-1:2008 pdf download – Radio frequency and coaxial cable assemblies – Part 2-1: Sectional specification for flexible coaxial cable assemblies
1 Scope
This part of lEC 60966 is a sectional specification that relates to flexible coaxial cableassemblies operating in the transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM). lt establishes uniformrequirements for testing the electrical, mechanical and climatic properties of flexible cableassemblies composed of flexible coaxial cables and coaxial connectors.
NOTE1 For the purposes 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 should be supplemented with detail specifications giving additional details asrequired by the particular application. This application will not necessarily require all tests.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in lEC 60966-1 apply.
4 Design and manufacturing requirements Clause 4 of IEC 60966-1 is applicable except as follows: Replacement: 4.1 Cable design and construction Cables should conform to IEC 60096-2 or IEC 61 1 96. Where cable designs deviating from these publications are required, they shall comply with the requirements of the detail specification. If required, the manufacturer may use additional protective tubing or cable deviating from IEC 61 1 96, in order to comply with the requirements of the detail specification. The materials used in the cable shall be given as engineering information in the detail specification.
4.2 Connector design and construction Connectors should conform to IEC 61 1 69. Where connector designs deviating from IEC 61 1 69 are required, the interface should conform to the relevant part of IEC 61 1 69 where available and shall comply with the requirements of the detail specification. The materials used in the connector shall be given as engineering information in the detail specification.
4.3 Outline and interface dimensions The outline and interface dimensions shall be in accordance with the detail specification of the cable assembly. The length, unless otherwise specified in the detail specification, is defined as between the reference planes of the connectors. In case of right angle connectors, the length applies to the axis of the connectors (see Figure 1 ). If not indicated in the detail specification, the length tolerance shall be ±1 % for cables equal to, or longer than, 300 mm and ±3 mm for cables shorter than 300 mm.
5 Workmanship, marking and packaging
Clause 5 of IEC 60966-1 is applicable, except as follows.
5.2 Marking
Addition:
Cable assemblies made in accordance with this sectional specification comprise a section of cable and two connectors. When specified in the detail specification, the assembly may additionally include markers for identification of the assembly and interconnecting ends. End caps and other accessories may also be specified (see Figure 2). NOTE Occasionally, the cable assembly will comprise only a cable and one connector
