Overview
EN 3375-006:2006 is a CEN aerospace product standard specifying the required characteristics for single-braid, 78 Ohm, size 24 electrical cable - Type XM intended for digital data transmission in aerospace applications. It defines construction, mechanical and electrical performance, environmental resistance and identification/marking rules. The standard is intended to be used together with EN 3375-001 (technical specification) and EN 3375-002 (general requirements).
Key topics and requirements
Cable type and construction
- Single braid screening (nickel-plated copper strands, strand Ø = 0.08 mm) with minimum 65% overlap.
- Conductors: example given as 19 × 0.12 mm strands (size 24).
- Insulation and tapes: fluorocarbon insulation, polyimide tapes and jacket (polyimide without external coating).
- Typical mass and dimensions provided (e.g., nominal outer diameters and ~15 g/m mass).
Electrical characteristics
- Characteristic impedance: 78 ± 7 Ω from 1 MHz to 200 MHz.
- Capacitance: 64 pF/m ± 10%.
- Attenuation (maximum): −0.035 dB/m at 1 MHz, −0.15 dB/m at 10 MHz.
- Informative maximum voltage rating: 250 V AC.
Mechanical and environmental
- Operating temperature range: −55 °C to +200 °C (ambient + heating).
- Minimum static bend radius: R = 25 mm.
- Resistance to fluids and non-flammability verified to EN 3475 series tests.
- Twisting pitch specified between 8 and 16 × external diameter.
Testing & quality
- Conforms to test methods in EN 3475-100 with a defined test matrix (visual, dimensions, insulation resistance, thermal ageing, bend, abrasion, attenuation, impedance, etc.).
- Quality assurance per EN 9133.
- Identification, marking and jacket color codes detailed (short designations: XM 24, XM R 24, XM B 24; core colors: red and light blue).
Applications and users
- Practical use: design, procurement and qualification of aerospace digital data transmission cables for avionics harnesses, sensor links, flight control data buses and other high-reliability aircraft systems requiring a 78 Ω differential link.
- Typical users: aerospace OEMs, harness manufacturers, electrical design engineers, procurement teams, quality/qualification engineers, and test laboratories.
