About This Item
IEC 61196-1-108:2025 defines a focused technical reference for electrical test methods used on coaxial communication cables, with emphasis on phase, phase constant, phase and group delay, propagation velocity, electrical length, and mean characteristic impedance. For engineering teams, laboratories, and procurement specialists, it provides a common basis for documented evaluation and technical validation of cable performance. The reference is relevant where controlled testing, traceable measurement, and consistent compliance workflows are required for coaxial cable selection, qualification, and conformity assessment.
What is IEC 61196-1-108:2025?
This document is the third edition of the test-method reference within the IEC 61196 series for coaxial communication cables. IEC 61196-1-108:2025 is intended to support laboratory evaluation of key electrical parameters that affect signal transmission behavior and system consistency. In practice, it helps define how measurements related to phase characteristics, delay, propagation velocity, and impedance are approached in a repeatable way, supporting technical review, quality workflows, and compliance-oriented documentation.
Applications of IEC 61196-1-108:2025
IEC 61196-1-108:2025 is typically used in cable qualification, incoming inspection, product evaluation, and verification activities for coaxial communication cable assemblies and related components. It is relevant to testing environments that need reliable measurement methods for transmission characteristics during development, production control, or supplier assessment. Organizations may use it to align engineering documentation with procurement requirements, reduce ambiguity in test reports, and support consistent technical assessment across different laboratories or internal quality systems.
Why is IEC 61196-1-108:2025 important?
Accurate electrical test methods help reduce uncertainty when comparing cable performance and verifying conformance to project or contract requirements. IEC 61196-1-108:2025 supports operational consistency by giving stakeholders a shared reference for measurement-based compliance preparation and risk management. That is especially useful when the results influence design acceptance, supplier approval, or conformity assessment. For teams working on technical compliance, the document can improve traceability, strengthen validation evidence, and support more dependable procurement and engineering decisions.
