Military specs for coaxial cable.
A series of individual specification sheets under MIL-C-17/xxx (now
MIL-DTL-17/xxx)
MIL-C-17/74 was for RG-213/RG-215 but is now discontinued and replacement is
MIL-C-17/189 Rev B. Mils specs still exist though over past years a lot of
"mil specs" have been transfered to the more commercial ANSI or other similar
organizations.
Mil specs provided a common specification for all mfrs for consistent similar
construction and quality of product. This involves testing as well. Cable that
met requirements was marked M17/74 along with mfr info.
For coax MIL SPECS still exist and an example is at this site for Defense
Supply Center Columbus:
