What is this standard about?
This European Standard specifies the characteristics of UV laser printable, tin plated copper conductor electrical cables Crosslinked Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene co-polymer (XLETFE) family for use in the on-board electrical systems of aircraft operating at temperatures between – 65 °C and 135 °C. The voltage rating is 600 Vrms at sea level. This insulation system has been used in aerospace applications using 115 Vac (phase-to-neutral) 400 Hz and 28 Vdc. Verification of the suitability of cables for use in other electrical systems is the responsibility of the user.
These cables are only suitable for airframe use with additional protection against mechanical abuse. In case of conflict between this standard and other referenced documents the requirements of this standard shall take precedence.
