IS 14686 : Part 3 : 2025/IEC 60966-3 : 2023 Radio Frequency and Coaxial Cable Assemblies - Part 3 Sectional Specification for Semi-Flexible Coaxial Cable Assemblies

ICS 33.120.10

LITD 06

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 3) (First Revision) which is identical to IEC 60966-3 : 2023 'Radio frequency and coaxial cable assemblies - Part 3: Sectional specification for semi-flexible coaxial cable assemblies' issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of Wires, Cables, Waveguides and Accessories Sectional Committee and approval of the Electronics and Information Technology Division Council. This standard was first published in 2018 and was identical with IEC 60699-3 : 2008. This revision of this Indian Standard has been under taken up to align it with the latest version of IEC 60966-3 : 2023.

Other parts in this series are:

Part 1 Generic specification - General requirements and test methods

Part 2 Flexible coaxial cable assemblies

Part 4 Sectional specification for semi-rigid coaxial cable assemblies

This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

a) Added “4.3 The relative position dimensions of the interface”;

b) Added “Figure 2”;

c) Added “6 IEC type designation”;

d) Modified “Figure 3”;

e) Added “7 Rating and characteristics”;

f) Added “Requirements/Remarks” to all the tests in 8;

g) Added some characteristics, such as insertion loss stability, intermodulation level measurement, corona extinction voltage, single bending, abrasion test of cable assembly, mechanical endurance, etc;

h) Rewrote test schedules;

j) Added Annex A and Annex B.

The text of IEC standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are however not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appears referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimalmarker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
