What is BS EN 4612-010 - Jacketed or screened and jacketed cables about?
BS EN 4612010 specifies the characteristics of UV laser printable jacket, silver-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 150 °C, operating at voltages not exceeding 600 V RMS at sea level and frequencies not exceeding 2 000 Hz. 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.
Note: These cables are suitable for airframe use without additional protection. In case of conflict between BS EN 4612-010 and other referenced documents, the requirements of BS EN 4612010 shall take precedence.
