What is BS EN 4612‑006 - Jacketed or screened and jacketed cables about?
BS EN 4612‑006 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, operating at voltages not exceeding 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 cables are suitable for airframe use without additional protection. In case of conflict between these standard and other referenced documents the requirements of this standard shall take precedence.

BS EN 4612‑006 on Jacketed or screened and jacketed cables is useful for:
- Aircraft manufacturers
- Aircraft operator
- Servicemen of aircrafts
- Safety regulatory bodies
- Purchasers of cable jackets
Why should you use BS EN 4612‑006 - Jacketed or screened and jacketed cables?
BS EN 4612-006 is useful for the manufacturers of jacked cables as it specifies requirements for materials and construction for jacketed cables.
BS EN 4612‑006 specifies that the screens and braids should be nickel or silver, or tin-plated copper or copper alloy as specified in the product specification.
BS EN 4612‑006 also provides the color coding for the jackets so that the purchaser can know which jacket he should purchase as per the need.
BS EN 4612‑006 helps verify the suitability of cables for use in other electrical systems.
