Overview
IEC 61196-11-1:2016 provides a blank detail specification template for semi-rigid coaxial communication cables with a polyethylene (PE) dielectric and a tubular outer conductor. The standard applies to cables intended for microwave and wireless equipment or other signal-transmission units operating at frequencies above 500 MHz. It establishes the layout and style for detail specifications that can be adopted by national organizations, manufacturers or users.
This part should be read in conjunction with IEC 61196-1:2005 (generic specification) and IEC 61196-11:2016 (sectional specification). Test references and procedural details are provided by the sectional specification.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: semi-rigid coaxial cables with PE dielectric, tubular outer conductor, frequencies > 500 MHz.
- Blank detail structure: title, document number, preparer, availability and cross-references.
- Preparation guidance: instructions for entering values, use of "na" (not applicable) and "ns" (not specified).
- Parameter categories: electrical, environmental, mechanical and fire performance requirements.
- Reference linking: test procedures and normative references are cited to IEC 61196-11.
Key fields and data items included in the blank detail specification:
- Identifier items [1]–[6]: preparer, document number/date, availability and related documents.
- Cable description [6]: variant, inner conductor material, dielectric material (PE), outer conductor type, sheath material.
- Construction details [7]: inner conductor, dielectric dimensions, outer conductor (corrugated or smooth tube), sheath thickness.
- Engineering info [8] (reference only): operating temperature range, maximum operating frequency, impedance, velocity ratio, bending radius, RMS and peak power, nominal weight.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61196-11-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 46A: Coaxial
cables, of IEC technical committee 46: Cables, wires, waveguides, R.F. connectors, R.F. and
microwave passive components and accessories.
