Overview
IEC 60096-0-1:1990/AMD1:2000 is an internationally recognized amendment to the original IEC 60096-0-1 standard, published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This amendment focuses specifically on radio-frequency (RF) cables, emphasizing a guide to the design of detailed specifications for coaxial cables. Produced by IEC Subcommittee 46A under Technical Committee 46, it addresses cable materials, dielectric properties, and dimensional tolerances to ensure high-performance coaxial cable design.
As an essential reference for manufacturers, engineers, and quality control professionals, this amendment updates critical technical data, offering standardized tables that define material constants and nominal dimensions for coaxial cable dielectrics. The amendment helps streamline the specification process, promotes interoperability, and supports the development of reliable communication and signalling systems.
Key Topics
Material Constants for Dielectric and Sheath
The amendment updates Table 3.1, which lists critical electrical and physical properties for materials used in coaxial cables, including:- Permittivity of dielectric materials
- Dissipation factor (tan δ) of dielectrics
- Maximum permissible voltage gradient
- Density and thermal resistivity
- Maximum operating temperatures
Materials covered include solid and cellular polyethylene (PE), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE), perfluoroalkoxy (PFA), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
Nominal Dimensions of Dielectric for Coaxial Cables
The updated Table 4 defines nominal diameters over the dielectric with specified tolerances for various cable impedances (e.g., 50 Ω, 75 Ω, 93 Ω). These dimensions cover a range of dielectric types, including solid PE, cellular PE, semi-air-spaced PE, and fluorinated variants. Precise control of these dimensions is critical for achieving the required impedance and electrical performance.Design Guidance
Guidance on material selection, dimensional tolerances, and electrical characteristics supports manufacturers in producing coaxial cables that meet stringent RF performance and environmental requirements. This amendment acts as an authoritative reference in refining detailed product specifications for coaxial cables used in communication systems.
Applications
IEC 60096-0-1:1990/AMD1:2000 serves as an invaluable resource for:
Telecommunication Infrastructure
Designing coaxial cables that meet standardized performance parameters for radio and TV broadcasting, mobile networks, and satellite communications.Signal Transmission Systems
Ensuring consistent cable impedance and low signal loss in RF signal distribution within industrial and commercial communication setups.Cable Manufacturing
Providing precise specifications for materials and dimensions that facilitate quality control and reproducible cable performance.Testing and Certification
Supporting compliance verification processes by enabling clear reference to standardized material constants and dimensional tolerances.Research and Development
Guiding the development of new coaxial cable materials and designs that align with international standards for dielectric and sheath properties.
