IEC 61196-10:2022 specifies the materials and cable construction for semi-rigid coaxial communication cables with fluoropolymer dielectric, IEC type designation, identification, marking and labelling, standard rating and characteristics, requirements of finished cables, quality assessment, delivery and storage, etc. This part of IEC 61196 applies to semi-rigid coaxial communication cables with fluoropolymer dielectric and tubular outer conductor. Semi-rigid coaxial communication cables with fluoropolymer dielectric are widely used in mobile communication systems, microwave test equipment, radar, aerospace and other fields.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2014. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a. Title was changed to: Sectional specification for semi-rigid cables with fluoropolymer dielectric b. Dielectric: other fluoropolymer materials (such as FEP, PFA) were added c. Table 1 – Distinguishing number was added d. Table 2 – Rated temperature was added e. 7.4.8, Thermal cycling was deleted f. Annex A: Performance requirements of typical cables was added g. Annex B: Requirements for thermal shock was added
