What is BS EN 4612‑002- Jacketed or screened and jacketed cables about?
BS EN 4612‑002 specifies the characteristics of UV laser printable jacket, tin-plated copper conductor, electrical cables Crosslinked Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene copolymer (XLETFE) family for use in the onboard electrical systems of aircraft operating at temperatures between – 65 °C and 135 °C at 600 V RMS at sea level.
This insulation system has been used in aerospace applications using 115 V (phase-to neutral) 400 Hz ac and 28 Vdc. Verification of the suitability of cables for use in other electrical systems is the responsibility of the user.
These jacketed cables are suitable for airframe use without additional protection when the jacket is present. When the jacket is stripped back the cores may need additional protection.
Note: In case of conflict between BS EN 4612‑002 and other referenced documents, the requirements of this standard shall take precedence.
