I have been tasked with finding a standard and test procedure to validate the reliability of flexible cables over time. I have found a standard, EIA TP-41C (EIS-364-41C), but it focuses primarily on the electrical connectors rather than the cable. Another standard Mil-C-13777G is used by some of the wire and cable manufacturers, but searching the web I found a US Government site that indicated that this standard was "inactive for new design". I can find no source for this standard. My application is for signal cables, but I assume other power cables would have some type of standard which they are tested to.
Are there other standards applicable to cables in a flex environment? Any help would be appreciated.
