MIL-DTL-23806B
3.2.4 Jackets (when specified). Jackets, when specified, shall consist of a continuous sheath of
polyethylene conforming to type I or II, class C in accordance with ASTM D1248.
3.3 Design, construction and dimensions. Design, construction and dimensions of the cable shall be as
specified in the detail specification sheet (see 3.1).
3.3.1 Temperature rating. The temperature operating range shall be -55°C to +85°C.
3.4 Electrical requirements. The electrical requirements for the cables shall be as follows.
3.4.1 Jacket spark (applicable to jacketed cable only), There shall be no breaks or punctures in the
jacket when tested as specified in 4.5.2.
3.4.2 Continuity. The inner and outer conductors in each shipping length of cable shall be continuous,
when tested as specified in 4.5.3.
3.4.3 Dielectric strength. The completed cable shall withstand the voltage specified in the detail
3.4.4 Insulation resistance. When cables are tested as specified in 4.5.5, the insulation resistance per
1,000 feet shall not be less than 10,000 megohms.
3.4.5 Attenuation. The maximum shall be as specified in the detail specification sheet (see 3.1). The
cable shall not exceed the maximum attenuation when tested as specified in 4.5.6.
3.4.6 Impedance. The impedance shall be as specified in the detail specification sheet and the
requirement shall be met when tested in accordance with 4.5.7.
3.4.7 Capacitance. When the cable is tested as specified in 4.5.7.1, the capacitance shall be as
specified in the detail specification sheet (see 3.1).
3.4.8 Velocity of propagation. When cable is tested as specified in 4.5.7.2, the velocity of propagation
shall be as specified in the detail specification (see 3.1).
3.4.9 Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). The VSWR of the specimen shall not exceed the values
specified in the detail specification sheet (see 3.1), when tested as specified in 4.5.8. The test connectors
shall be included as part of the cable and shall comply with the requirements specified herein.
3.5 Environmental requirements. The environmental requirements for these cables shall be as follows.
3.5.1 Bending. When specified in the detail specification sheet (see 3.1), the cable shall meet the
requirements of 3.4.3 and 3.4.9, after being subjected to the bending tests specified in 4.5.9. There shall
not be any evidence of wrinkles, splits, or fractures of the outer conductor after the bend test.
3.5.2 Temperature cycling. When specified in the detail specification sheet (see 3.1), there shall be no
evidence of mechanical damage or insulation separation, and the cable shall meet the requirements of
3.4.9 after being subjected to the temperature cycling test as specified in 4.5.10. Insulation separation is
defined as expansion, detraction, or separation (loose fit) of insulation on the inner conductor.
3.5.3 Outer conductor flaring. There shall be no splitting or cracking of the flared section when tested
as specified in 4.5.11.
