What is BS EN 60966-2-1- Flexible coaxial cable assemblies about?
BS EN 60966-2-1 is a part of an international multi-series standard that discusses radio frequency and coaxial cable assemblies.
BS EN 60966-2-1 is a sectional specification that relates to flexible coaxial cable assemblies operating in the transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM).
BS EN 60966-2-1 establishes 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 specifications apply to the finished assembly and not to individual and non-assembled parts thereof.
Note 2: BS EN 60966-2-1 should be supplemented with detailed specifications giving additional details as required by the application. This application will not necessarily require all tests.
Who is BS EN 60966-2-1- Flexible coaxial cable assemblies for?
BS EN 60966-2-1 on flexible coaxial cable assemblies is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of flexible coaxial cable assemblies
- Suppliers of coaxial cable assemblies
- Electrical/ electronic engineers
- Electromagnetic engineers
- Testing authorities
Why should you use BS EN 60966-2-1- Flexible coaxial cable assemblies?
Cable assemblies made in accordance with BS EN 60966-2-1 comprise a section of cable and two connectors. The assembly may additionally include markers for identification of the assembly and interconnecting ends. End caps and other accessories are also specified by BS EN 60966-2-1.
BS EN 60966-2-1 serves the objective of determining the change of insertion loss when the cable assembly is subjected to bending and twisting. It assists you in performing electrical tests, mechanical robustness tests, vibration tests, and environmental tests to verify the characteristics of flexible coaxial cable assemblies. BS EN 60966-2-1 exemplifies the detailed specification for the requirements of flexible coaxial cable assemblies, which can be used while the cable designs deviate from the intended publications. BS EN 60966-2-1 provides you with the information for measuring the dynamic bending radius of the cable (radius of the mandrel), whether method 1 or 2 is used for the bending test, test frequencies, and maximum change of insertion loss. This helps the users for manufacturing the best quality, efficient and reliable flexible coaxial cable assemblies.
By applying, BS EN 60966-2-1 you can learn about the sectional specification for flexible coaxial cable assemblies, which can be helpful for your business.
