CCS cable applications: qualify the finished construction

Original publication: · Reviewed:

Bare-wire results are one input to cable development. Insulation, geometry, stranding and termination can change the finished product's requirements, so carry the wire identity into the complete cable test plan.

Review the application

A conductivity class alone does not establish attenuation, impedance, return loss or suitability for every frequency range. Where the cable also carries DC power, state that requirement separately.

Information to provide

Confirm the proposed construction

Agree on the center-conductor specification and the intended cable construction.

Evaluate trial wire through the actual processing and termination sequence.

Validate the finished cable against its specified electrical and mechanical requirements.
