Overview

EN 2266-007:2005 is a European standard under the aerospace series detailing specifications for UV laser printable multicore jacketed electrical cables designed for general purpose use in aircraft onboard electrical systems. These cables are engineered to operate reliably within an extreme temperature range from -55 °C to 200 °C. The standard ensures cables are compatible with multiple marking techniques including UV laser, hot stamp, and ink jet printing according to EN 3838, facilitating clear traceability and identification in aerospace environments.

Developed by CEN and aligned with the European Association of Aerospace Manufacturers (AECMA-STAN), this product standard targets electrical cables manufactured with high precision materials and strict quality assurance to meet the rigorous requirements of aviation applications.

Key Topics

• Operating Temperature Range
  Cables certified under EN 2266-007:2005 demonstrate stability and performance across a broad temperature range of -55 °C to 200 °C, crucial for aerospace environments with varying external conditions.

• Cable Construction and Materials
  The standard specifies multicore cables with 2 to 4 twisted cores, constructed with top coat dispersion fluorocarbon and polyimide outer jackets coated with fluorocarbon (FEP). The unique layering (37.5 µm polyimide with a 12.7 µm fluorocarbon coating) ensures durability, flexibility, and excellent insulation.

• Marking Requirements
  Cables must be capable of receiving UV laser markings, as well as hot stamp and ink jet print markings compliant with EN 3838, to guarantee legibility and durability of cable identification throughout service life.

• Electrical and Mechanical Characteristics
  The standard mandates compliance with criteria including ohmic resistance, voltage proof, insulation resistance, surface resistance, cold bend tests, thermal shock, and flammability with extinguishing times under 3 seconds.

• Quality Assurance and Testing
  Quality management is governed by EN 9133, ensuring product consistency and traceability. Testing methods, referenced from EN 3475-100, cover visual appearance, mass, dimensions, bending, aging, and resistance to humidity and fluids.

• Designation and Labeling
  The standard provides a clear designation format indicating conformity, cable core number, nominal cross-section, and color coding for easy identification and inventory management. Packaging and delivery adhere to EN 2235 directives.

Applications

EN 2266-007 cables are vital components in modern aerospace electrical systems, supporting demanding applications such as:

• Aircraft Onboard Electrical Wiring
  Used in avionics, control systems, lighting, instruments, and power distribution where cables must withstand thermal extremes and mechanical stresses.

• High-Temperature Zones
  Suitable for installation near engines and other hot components, where standard cables fail to maintain integrity.

• Data and Signal Transmission
  Multicore design allows simultaneous transmissions in critical control and communication systems onboard aircraft.

• Traceability in Aerospace Maintenance
  UV laser printability and marking compatibility ensure that cables can be reliably identified and verified during maintenance and lifecycle audits.
