Aerospace series - Cable, electrical, for signal transmission - Part 008: Cable, coaxial, 50 ohms, 200 °C, Type WD - Product standard

This document specifies the required characteristics of a semi rigid coaxial cable, 50 Ω, type WD, for use in aircraft electrical systems at operating temperature between –55 °C and 200 °C and specially for high frequency up to 6 GHz. Nevertheless, if needed, −65 °C is also acceptable as shown by thermal stability test.
