IS/IEC 61196 : Part 8 : Sec 1 : 2023 Coaxial Communication Cables - Part 8 Semi-Flexible Cables with Fluoropolymer Dielectric - Section 1 Blank Detail Specification
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 8/Sec 1) (First Revision) which is identical to IEC 61196-8-1 : 2023 'Coaxial communication cables - Part 8-1: Blank detail specification for semi-flexible cables with fluoropolymer dielectric' issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendations of the Wires, Cables, Waveguides & Accessories Sectional Committee and approval of the Electronics and Information Technology Division Council.
This standard was first published in 2020 and was identical to IEC 61196-8-1 : 2012.The first revision of the Indian Standard has been under taken up to align it with the latest version of IEC 61196-8-1 : 2023.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previousedition:
a) title changed to 'Coaxial communication cables - Part 8: Blank detail specification forsemiflexible cables with fluoropolymer dielectric';
b) new requirements added in Clause 7;
c) 'mean characteristic impedance' (see IEC 61196-8 : 2012, 7.1.5) changed to 'Characteristic impedance'; and
d) Subclause 7.1.6 (see IEC 61196-8 : 2012) deleted.
The text of IEC standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions and terminologies are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard', and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
