This part of IEC 60966 is a sectional specification that relates to semi-flexible coaxial cable
assemblies operating in the transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM). It establishes uniform
requirements for testing the electrical, mechanical and climatic properties of flexible cable
assemblies composed of flexible coaxial cables and coaxial connectors.
NOTE 1 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 as
required by the particular application. This application will not necessarily require all tests.
