Full Description

This part of IEC 61196 applies to coaxial communications cables. It specifies the requirements for CATV drop cables for analogue and digital one and two way signal transmission, e.g. for cable networks for television signals, sound signals, interactive services, surveillance control systems, and satellite television receiving systems according to the requirements of IEC 60728-1, IEC 60728-1-1, IEC 60728-101, IEC 60728-10, ISO/IEC 11801-1 and ISO/IEC 11801-4. This also includes the transmission of BCT signals provided by a CATV, MATV or SMATV cable network.

The operating frequency is from 5 MHz to 1 000 MHz or from 5 MHz to 3 000 MHz.

Operating temperature is between -40 °C and +70 °C.
