This part of IEC 61196 applies to coaxial communication cables described in IEC 61196-6. It specifies the requirements for 75-4 type CATV drop cables. These cables are used in CATV distribution systems, surveillance & control systems, satellite television receiving systems and as bidirectional hybrid fibre coaxes (HFC).
The operating frequency is from 5 MHz to 3 000 MHz. This part of IEC 61196 is to be used in conjunction with IEC 61196-1 and IEC 61196-6. It determines the layout and style with respect to the model and type.
