IEC 61196-1-206:2017 specifies the method of test to determine the stability of transmission performance of a finished RF coaxial cable when subjected to a set of temperatures, temperature changes, and humidity stresses that would accelerate exposures observed in storage and transportation. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: It utilizes the test method of IEC 60068-2-61: Environmental Testing - Part 2-61: Test methods - Test Z/ABDM: Climatic sequence, which replaces the thermal cycle test.
