at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2004-07-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2006-10-01
This sectional specification is to be read with EN 60966-1:1999, Radio frequency and coaxial cable
assemblies – Part 1: Generic specification - General requirements and test methods.
Annexes designated "normative" are part of the body of the standard.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to
technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this
preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also
participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60966-4 has been prepared by subcommittee 46A: Coaxial cables,
of IEC technical committee 46: Cables, wires, waveguides, r.f. connectors, r.f. and microwave
passive components and accessories .
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1992 and constitutes a
technical revision.
The major changes with respect to the first edition is the reference to the second edition of the
generic specification.

CABLE ASSEMBLIES –
Part 4: Sectional specification for
semi-rigid coaxial cable assemblies
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 establishes uniform
requirements for testing the electrical, mechanical and climatic properties of semi-rigid cable
assemblies composed of semi-rigid coaxial cables and coaxial connectors.
NOTE 1 The numbering of the Clauses is the same as in the generic specification.
NOTE 2 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 3 This sectional specification should be supplemented with detail specifications giving additional details as
required by the particular application. This application will not necessarily require all tests.
