INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION

COAXIAL COMMUNICATION CABLES –

Part 10-1: Blank detail specification for semi-rigid cables
with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) dielectric

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 61196-10-1 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.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

COAXIAL COMMUNICATION CABLES –

Part 10-1: Blank detail specification for semi-rigid cables
with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) dielectric

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61196 applies to coaxial communication cables described in IEC 61196-10. It
specifies the requirements for semi-rigid radio frequency and coaxial cables with solid
dielectric and semi-airspace dielectric. These cables are intended for use in microwave and
wireless equipment or other signal transmission equipment or units at frequencies above
500 MHz.
This part of IEC 61196 is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61196-1 and IEC 61196-10. The
blank detail specification determines the layout and style for detail. Detail specifications,
based on the blank detail specification, may be prepared by a national organization, a
manufacturer or a user.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and
are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any
amendments) applies.
IEC 61196-1:2005, Coaxial communication cables – Part 1: Generic specification – General,
definitions and requirements
IEC 61196-10:2014, Coaxial communication cables – Part 10: Sectional specification for
semi-rigid cables with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) dielectric
NOTE Documents which are needed to achieve the tests according to Clause 4, item [9] or item [10], respectively,
are listed in IEC 61196-10.
3 Guidance for the preparation of detail specifications
The detail specification shall be written in accordance with the layout of the blank detail
specification, which forms part of this standard.
NOTE 1 When a characteristic does not apply, then NA (for not applicable) is entered in the appropriate space.
NOTE 2 When a characteristic applies but a specific value is not considered necessary, then NS (for not specified)
is entered.
