EN IEC 60966-1:2019 pdf download.Radio frequency and coaxial cable assemblies
1 Scope
This part of lEG 60966 specifies requirements for radio frequency coaxial cable assemblies operating in the transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM) and establishes general requirements for testing the electrical, mechanical and environmental properties of radio frequency coaxial cable assemblies composed of cables and connectors. Additional requirements relating to specific families of cable assemblies are given in the relevant sectional specifications.
The design of the cables and connectors used will preferably conform to the applicable parts of IEC 61196 and lEG 61169 respectively.
NOTE 1 This document does not include tests which are normally performed on the cables and connectors separately. These tests are described in lEG 61 196-1 (all parts) and lEG 61169-1 respectively.
NOTE 2 Wherever possible, cables and connectors used in cable assemblies, even if they are not described in the lEG 61196 or lEG 61169 series, are tested separately according to the tests given in the relevant generic specification.
NOTE 3 Where additional protection is applied to a cable assembly, the mechanical and environmental tests described in this document are applicable.

4.1 Cable design and construction
Cables in accordance with, or conforming to, IEC 61196 sectional or detail specifications should be specified wherever possible. Where cable designs deviating from IEC 61196 sectional or detail specifications are required,these cables
shall comply with the requirements of the relevant sectional or detail specification of the manufacturer.
According to local regulation， raw material of the cable as well as those of additional protection shall be chosen to comply with regional or national Directives and Regulations such as RoHS and REACH in Europe.
4.2 Connector design and construction
Connector types conforming to the relevant part of IEC 61169 shall be specified wherever possible, but where a special connector design is required, the interface shall conform to the relevant part of IEC 61169, where available, and the connector construction shall comply with the requirements of the relevant detail specification.EN IEC 60966-1 pdf download.
