What is BS EN 60966-4-1 - Radio frequency and coaxial cable assemblies about?
BS EN 60966 is a series on radio frequency and coaxial cable assemblies. Radio frequency and coaxial cable assemblies. Radio frequency and coaxial cable assemblies is a type of electrical cable consisting of an inner conductor surrounded by a concentric conducting shield, with the two separated by a dielectric (insulating material); many coaxial cables also have a protective outer sheath or jacket. BS EN 60966-4-1 relates to semi-rigid coaxial cable assemblies operating in the transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM).
Who is BS EN 60966-4-1 - Radio frequency and coaxial cable assemblies for?
BS EN 60966-4-1 on radio frequency and coaxial cable assemblies is useful for:
- Telecommunication component manufacturers
- Telecommunication equipment manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 60966-4-1 - Radio frequency and coaxial cable assemblies?
Radiofrequency and coaxial cable assemblies are a type of transmission line, used to carry high-frequency electrical signals with low losses. It is used in such applications as telephone trunk lines, broadband internet networking cables, high-speed computer data busses, cable television signals, and connecting radio transmitters and receivers to their antennas. The creation of a uniform layout and style of detail specifications is determined by the use of a blank detail specification pro forma as described in BS EN 60966-4-1. The detailed specification may be prepared by the insertion of data into the pro forma by a national standards organization, by an approved manufacturer or by a user.
Detail specifications, as far as possible, are written in accordance with the pro forma which has a front page with a general description and a drawing or isometric sketch of the cable assembly and its possible variants and ratings, characteristics, and inspection requirements. Using BS EN 60966-4-1 you can understand the semi-rigid coaxial cable assemblies operating in the transverse electromagnetic mode.
What’s changed since the last update?
