34、ts 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 re
35、quirements relating to specific families of cable assemblies are given in the relevant sectional specifications. NOTE 1 - The design of the cables and connectors used should preferably conform to the applicable parts of IEC 61 196 and IEC 61169 respectively. NOTE 2 - This specification does not incl
36、ude tests which are normally performed on the cables and connectors separately. These tests are described in IEC 61196-1 and IEC 61.1 69-1 respectively. NOTE 3 - Wherever possible, cables and connectors used in cable assemblies, even if they are not described in the IEC 61196 or IEC 61169 series are
37、 tested separately according to the tests given in the relevant generic specification. NOTE 4 - Where additional protection is applied to a cable assembly, the mechanical and environmental tests described in this standard are applicable. 2 Normative references The following normative documents conta
