This part of IEC 60966 is a sectional specification that relates to flexible RF 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 RF coaxial cables and RF coaxial connectors.

This part of IEC 60966 applies to flexible cable assemblies composed of flexible RF coaxial cables and coaxial connectors. Flexible RF cable assemblies are widely used in mobile communication systems, microwave test equipment, radar, aerospace and other fields.

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 can be supplemented with detail specifications giving additional details as required by the particular application. This application will not necessarily require all tests.
