Overview
EN 2346-005:2017 - published by CEN - is a product standard for the DW family of light‑weight, fire‑resistant aerospace electrical cables. It specifies unscreened single‑core (UV laser printable) and multicore assemblies designed for on‑board aircraft electrical systems with continuous operating temperatures from −65 °C to 260 °C. The standard defines materials, construction, required characteristics and test methods for aerospace fire resistant cable used in critical aircraft installations.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and limits
- Operating temperature range: −65 °C to 260 °C (continuous).
- Rated for aircraft systems; operating voltage indicated as 600 V AC. Arc‑tracking resistance has been demonstrated only up to 200 V rms (not proven above 200 V rms for a.c. networks).
- Single cores can be UV laser printable per EN 3838; UV markability is not mandatory for multicore assemblies.
- Materials and conductor construction
- Conductors use nickel‑clad copper alloy for small sizes (0.25 mm² and 0.4 mm²) and nickel‑clad copper for sizes ≥ 0.6 mm². Copper requirements reference IEC 28.
- Insulation and overall construction follow EN 2234 requirements and EN 2346‑002 for colour codes and core counts.
- Mechanical and electrical performance
- Detailed dimensional, mass and conductor resistance requirements (see Table 1 in the standard).
- Tests include: visual, mass/dimensions, ohmic resistance, voltage proof (immersion and dry spark), insulation/surface resistance, overload, continuity, accelerated ageing, thermal shock, flammability, fire resistance (15 min), thermal endurance (40 000 h at 260 °C), dynamic cut‑through, scrape abrasion, torsion, and others as listed in EN 3475 series.
- Quality and designation
- Quality assurance aligned with EN 9133 (aerospace product qualification).
- Type codes and marking rules for identification (short designation examples provided).
Applications and who uses this standard
- Primary users
- Aircraft OEMs and airframe electrical system designers specifying lightweight, fire‑resistant wiring.
- Wiring‑harness manufacturers and cable suppliers for aerospace platforms.
- Test laboratories, procurement and quality assurance teams verifying compliance to aerospace cable product standards.
- Practical uses
- Selection and procurement of on‑board cables for engine bays, avionics and other zones requiring elevated temperature and fire performance.
- Defining supplier acceptance tests, production quality control and qualification of UV laser marking for single cores.
- Ensuring compatibility with aircraft installation practice where weight, high‑temperature endurance and regulated fire behaviour are critical.
