Overview
EN 4612-011:2019 is a CEN product standard in the aerospace series that specifies the characteristics of XLETFE family electrical cables with a UV laser printable jacket and nickel‑plated copper conductors. It covers single- and multi‑core jacketed (non‑screened) assemblies intended for aircraft onboard electrical systems operating between −65 °C and 150 °C and at voltages up to 600 V. The insulation/jacket system is crosslinked ETFE (XLETFE) with a dual‑extruded wall for open applications and is suitable for airframe use without additional protection.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Construction
- Cores: nickel‑plated copper, 2 to 4 cores, twisted per EN 2235; filler cores not permitted.
- Outer jacket: XLETFE, UV laser printable, minimum thickness 0.15 mm.
- Dual extruded wall for external/open applications.
- Electrical and mechanical data
- Designed for typical aerospace systems (examples noted: 115 V phase‑to‑neutral 400 Hz AC and 28 V DC); verification for other systems is the user's responsibility.
- Maximum operating voltage: 600 V.
- Tableed conductor sizes, diameters, mass and DC resistance are provided (see standard Table 1).
- Testing and performance
- Referenced test methods largely from EN 3475‑100 and EN 2235.
- Applicable tests include visual, mass, dimensions, ohmic resistance, accelerated ageing (200 ± 3 °C), shrinkage/delamination (150 ± 5 °C), thermal shock (−65 °C / 150 °C), cold bend (−65 ± 2 °C), bending, flammability (flame 15 s; extinguish ≤ 3 s), resistance to fluids (volume swell ≤ 10 %), humidity resistance (90 °C, 672 h), tensile properties of extruded materials (TS ≥ 35 MPa, Eb ≥ 75 %), flexure endurance (mandrel Ø15 mm, 0.75 kg, 750 cycles), strippability and laser markability (contrast K ≥ 50 %).
- Quality and marking
- Quality assurance per EN 9133.
- Identification, colour coding and designation formats per EN 4612‑002 and EN 2235.
Applications and users
- Intended for aerospace airframe wiring harnesses where high temperature range, UV laser marking for traceability, and robust XLETFE jackets are required.
- Primary users:
- Cable manufacturers and suppliers producing aviation-grade wiring.
- Aircraft electrical/system designers and avionics engineers specifying harness materials.
- Procurement, quality and certification teams verifying compliance for installation and maintenance.
- MRO and wiring installation teams needing laser‑printable, high‑temperature external cables.
- Note: users must verify suitability in electrical systems beyond the examples cited.
