IEC 61196-4:2022 CMV
Commented version
Coaxial communication cables - Part 4: Sectional specification for radiating cables
Abstract
IEC 61196-4:2022 CMV contains both the official standard and its commented version. The commented version provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between IEC 61196-4:2022 edition 4.0 and the previous IEC 61196-4:2015 edition 3.0. Furthermore, comments from IEC SC 46A experts are provided to explain the reasons of the most relevant changes, or to clarify any part of the content.
IEC 61196-4:2022 applies to radiating coaxial communication cables, and specifies the terms and definitions, material and construction, IEC type designation, standard rating and characteristics, identification, marking and labelling, requirements of finished cables, quality assessment, delivery and storage, etc.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2015 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a. rewrote "1 Scope" to be consistent with other blank detail specifications of coaxial cables;
