Overview
EN 4611-006:2018 is a CEN aerospace product standard that defines the characteristics of XLETFE family electrical cables with silver‑plated copper conductors, designed for on‑board aircraft use. Key features include a dual‑extruded XLETFE insulation, suitability for open/external applications, and UV laser printable outer insulation. The cables are rated for operating temperatures between −65 °C and 150 °C and a voltage rating of 600 V rms at sea level. This standard supersedes EN 4611‑006:2012 and takes precedence over conflicting referenced documents.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Materials & construction
- Conductors: silver plated copper (per EN 2083).
- Insulation: two extruded layers of crosslinked ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (XLETFE); outer layer laser‑printable for single cores.
- Dual‑extruded wall intended for open/external airframe applications.
- Electrical & environmental ratings
- Temperature range: −65 °C to 150 °C.
- Voltage rating: 600 V rms at sea level; known use in 115 V ac (400 Hz) and 28 V dc aerospace systems (verification for other systems is user responsibility).
- Testing & qualification
- Reference test suite: EN 3475 series (mechanical, electrical, thermal, flammability, smoke and toxicity).
- Specific tests include: ohmic resistance, dielectric proof, insulation resistance, accelerated aging, thermal shock, cold bend, abrasion, cut‑through, arc propagation, flammability, smoke density and toxicity.
- Quality system and product qualification referenced to EN 9133 and related EN documents.
- Designation, marking & delivery
- Cable designation and marking rules per EN 4611‑002 and EN 4611‑006; UV laser markability and contrast requirements apply.
- Packaging, labelling and delivery lengths per EN 2084.
Applications and who uses it
- Primary use: airframe wiring and general purpose single‑ and multi‑core assemblies in civil and military aircraft.
- Typical users:
- Aerospace cable manufacturers and material suppliers
- Aircraft electrical system designers and harness engineers
- Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organizations
- Procurement and certification authorities specifying compliant wiring products
- Practical benefits:
- Robust thermal performance and chemical resistance of XLETFE for harsh aircraft environments
- Silver‑plated conductors improve corrosion resistance and solderability
- UV laser printability enables durable cable identification for traceability and maintenance
