58 1 Scope
59 This part of IEC 60966 is a sectional specification that relates to semi-rigid coaxial cable
60 assemblies operating in the transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM). It specifies the design
61 and construction, IEC type designation, workmanship, marking and packaging, standard rating
62 and characteristics, electrical, mechanical and environmental requirements of finished semi-
63 rigid cable assemblies, quality assessment, delivery and storage, etc
64 This part of IEC 60966 applies to semi-rigid cable assemblies composed of semi-rigid coaxial
65 cables and coaxial connectors. Semi-rigid cable assemblies are widely used in mobile
66 communication systems, microwave test equipment, radar, aerospace and other fields.
67 NOTE 1： For the purpose of this sectional specification, a cable assembly is always regarded as an integral unit.
68 All specifications apply to the finished assembly and not to individual and non-assembled parts thereof.
69 NOTE 2： This sectional specification should be supplemented with detail specifications giving additional details as
70 required by the particular application. This application will not necessarily require all tests.
71 2 Normative references
72 The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

89 4 Design and construction
90 4.1 Cable design and construction
91 Cables should conform to IEC 61196-10 or IEC 61196-11 and their related detail
92 specifications. Where cable designs deviating from these publications are required, they shall
93 comply with the requirements of the relevant detail specification of the cable.
94 If required, the manufacturer may use additional protective tubing or cable deviating from IEC
95 61196-10 or IEC 61196-11 to comply with the requirements of the relevant detail specification.
96 The materials used in the cable shall be given as engineering information in the relevant
97 detail specification.
98 According to local regulation, raw material of the cable as well as those of additional
99 protection shall be chosen to comply with regional or national Directives and Regulations such
100 as RoHS and REACH in Europe.
101 4.2 Connector design and construction
102 Connectors should conform to IEC 61169. Where connector designs deviating from IEC 61169
103 are required, the interface should conform to the relevant part of IEC 61169 where available
104 and shall comply with the requirements of the relevant detail specification.
105 The materials used in the connector shall be given as engineering information in the relevant
106 detail specification.
107 According to local regulation, raw material of the connector as well as those of additional
108 protection shall be chosen to comply with regional or national Directives and Regulations such
109 as RoHS and REACH in Europe.
110 4.3 The relative position dimensions of the interface
111 The relative position dimensions of the interface of end connector(s) of the cable assemblies
112 should comply with the interface of the relevant part of IEC 61169 or the relevant detail
113 specification. The relative position dimensions of the interface of end connector(s) include the
114 dimension of inner conductor relative to dielectric and inner conductor relative to out
115 conductor.
116 The relative position dimensions of the interface of some typical connectors are shown in
117 Annex A.
118 4.4 Outline of the cable assembly
119 The outline shall be in accordance with the relevant detail specification of the cable assembly.
120 The length, unless otherwise specified in the relevant detail specification, is defined as
121 between the reference planes of the connectors. In the case of right-angle connectors, the
122 length applies to the axis of the connectors (see Figure 1 and Figure 2).
123 If not indicated in the relevant detail specification, the length tolerance shall be ±1 % for
124 cables equal to, or longer than, 300 mm and ±3 mm for cables shorter than 300 mm.
