Overview
SIST EN 4611-007:2018 is a European Standard developed by CEN, specifying the characteristics of electrical cables used in aerospace applications. These cables belong to the XLETFE family, featuring nickel plated copper conductors with dual extruded insulation designed for open-air exposure. They operate reliably within a temperature range of -65 °C to 150 °C and support a voltage rating of 600 V rms at sea level. A key feature is their UV laser printable insulation, enabling clear and permanent cable marking for aerospace systems.
This standard applies to single and multicore cables intended for general-purpose use in aircraft electrical systems, widely adopted for 115 V ac (400 Hz) and 28 V dc aerospace electrical architectures. It ensures that cables meet stringent quality and performance demands, including thermal endurance, mechanical durability, and resistance to environmental factors such as UV radiation and humidity. EN 4611-007 takes precedence over other referenced documents in case of conflict.
Key Topics
Materials and Construction
- Conductors are made from nickel plated copper per EN 4611-002 and EN 2083.
- Dual extruded insulation uses Crosslinked Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene co-polymer (XLETFE) - outer layer printable by UV laser.
- Multiple wire sizes and configurations are covered, including both single and multicore cables with detailed specifications on dimensions, resistance, and mass.
Operating Conditions
- Designed for aircraft onboard electrical systems operating between −65 °C and 150 °C.
- Voltage rating of 600 V rms at sea level, compatible with aerospace power supplies such as 115 V ac (400 Hz) and 28 V dc.
Testing and Quality Assurance
- Comprehensive testing protocols specified, including electrical resistance, insulation integrity, thermal shock, ageing, bending, flammability, and abrasion resistance.
- Tests ensure cable reliability under harsh aerospace environments with specific criteria for mechanical and electrical performance.
- Laser markability tests confirm the suitability for UV laser printing on the cable insulation.
Identification and Marking
- Cables feature manufacturer marking and color-coded cores conforming to EN 4611-002 for easy identification and traceability.
- UV laser printable insulation supports permanent, high-contrast markings critical for aerospace maintenance and safety.
Applications
Aerospace Electrical Systems
EN 4611-007 cables are primarily used in aircraft onboard electrical wiring systems. Their robustness at wide temperature ranges and electrical ratings suit power distribution, signal transmission, and avionics wiring in commercial, military, and spaceflight vehicles.Airframe Cabling
These cables are suitable for open applications on airframes, providing resistance to environmental exposure including UV radiation, temperature variations, and mechanical stresses.System Compatibility
While proven in 115 V ac (400 Hz) and 28 V dc systems, users should verify suitability for other voltages or frequencies based on specific aircraft system requirements.Maintenance and Safety
The UV laser printable feature facilitates clear labeling, reducing wiring errors and improving maintenance efficiency and safety compliance in aerospace operations.
