Good Day Andy About three years ago I had the same dilemma. I searched and found no such standard that was directed toward just this subject. There are many articles written and published in magazines, technical books, etc. dealing with proper cable construction. I then decided that I would compile all of this info into an "internal" engineering standard titled - "Shielded Cable Assemblies". This standard deals with molded signal cables used to externally interface our medical devices. These cables are sourced externally. So far, it seems to be doing the job! I reference this engineering standard on our cable specifications and a copy goes to all of our suppliers of this commodity. If you wish, I could send a copy of the document as a reference. Let me know if you would like a copy! I would be curious from the rest of the forum if such a standard does exist. I guess we will wait and see!
-----Original Message----- From: Veit, Andy [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2001 7:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Cable Drawing Standards All- I have an unusual request for information. I was recently asked if there are standards for cable construction, and standards that describe how a desired construction is to be documented - i.e. preferred ways to terminate shields on a connector backshell and how to show this type of information as clearly and unambiguously as possible on cable drawings. I am guessing that many of you have probably come across this type of thing before, either in your current work or in a past life. Are there IEEE, ANSI, MIL or other standards that are commonly used as guides when creating cable assembly drawings/documentation? I have also been told that "workmanship" standards exist as well, but I have not been able to locate any yet.
