Ta evropski standard določa lastnosti električnih kablov, potiskljivih z UV-laserjem, z vodnikom iz posrebrenega bakra iz družine kopolimerov, pridobljenih z mrežno polimerizacijo etilena in tetrafluoretilena (XLETFE), za uporabo v električnih sistemih na krovu letal pri obratovalnih temperaturah med –65 in 150 °C. Nazivna napetost je 600 V RMS na morski gladini. Ta izolacijski sistem se je uporabljal v aeronavtiki pri izmenični napetosti 115 V (za fazno napetost) pri 400 Hz in 28 V pri enosmerni napetosti. Za preverjanje ustreznosti kablov za uporabo v drugih električnih sistemih je odgovoren uporabnik.
Ti kabli so primerni samo za uporabo na ogrodjih letal z dodatno zaščito pred mehansko obrabo. V primeru neskladja med tem standardom in drugimi navedenimi dokumenti imajo prednost določila tega standarda.

Overview
EN 4611-005:2018 is a CEN product standard in the Aerospace series that defines UV laser printable, silver‑plated copper conductor electrical cables of the XLETFE (crosslinked ethylene tetra‑fluoro‑ethylene co‑polymer) family. It covers single‑extruded‑wall, single‑ and multicore cables intended for enclosed on‑board aircraft electrical systems operating between −65 °C and 150 °C. The cables are rated 600 V rms at sea level and have been used in aerospace systems such as 115 V AC (phase‑to‑neutral) 400 Hz and 28 V DC installations. The standard applies to airframe use and requires additional mechanical protection where needed.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Materials & construction
- Conductors: silver‑plated copper (as specified by EN 4611‑002).
- Insulation: single extruded layer of XLETFE; outer insulation must be UV laser printable for single‑core cables.
- Single extruded wall design targeted for enclosed applications.
- Electrical ratings
- Voltage rating: 600 V rms at sea level.
- Typical aerospace service voltages noted: 115 V AC (400 Hz) and 28 V DC; other system suitability is the user’s responsibility.
- Environmental & mechanical limits
- Operating temperature range: −65 °C to 150 °C.
- Intended for airframe use only and requires protection against mechanical abuse.
- Required tests and verification
- Conformance testing follows EN 3475‑100 series and EN 4611‑002. Typical tests include:
- Voltage proof, insulation resistance, surface resistance
- Thermal aging, thermal shock, cold bend
- Bending, scrape abrasion, dynamic cut‑through
- Flammability, humidity resistance, solderability
- Laser markability and contrast measurement (K ≥ 50 %)
- Quality assurance per EN 9133.
- Conformance testing follows EN 3475‑100 series and EN 4611‑002. Typical tests include:
Applications and users
- Practical use: specification for on‑board aircraft wiring harnesses in airframes where temperature extremes and laser marking are required.
- Who uses this standard:
- Aerospace cable manufacturers and material suppliers
- Aircraft OEMs, harness designers, and electrical design engineers
- Quality managers, procurement specialists, and certification bodies
- Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) teams specifying replacement wiring
- Important note: users must verify suitability for electrical systems beyond those specifically referenced.
