13、by CENELEC as EN 60966-2-1 on 2009-07-01. This European Standard supersedes EN 60966-2-1:2003. The major change with respect to EN 60966-2-1:2003 is a better definition of the tests to be performed. This sectional specification is to be read in conjunction with EN 60966-1:1999. It contains the same
14、clauses as that of EN 60966-1 and completes or amends them when required. When a clause of EN 60966-1 does not appear in this standard, it applies as it is in EN 60966-1. When this standard states “addition“, “modification“ or “replacement“, the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.

24、008(E) 5 RADIO FREQUENCY AND COAXIAL CABLE ASSEMBLIES Part 2-1: Sectional specification for flexible coaxial cable assemblies 1 Scope This part of IEC 60966 is a sectional specification that relates to flexible coaxial cable assemblies operating in the transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM). It estab
25、lishes 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 sp
26、ecifications 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
27、all tests. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
