EN 6049-007 Aerospace - Self Wrapping Protective Sheath Test of Electrical Cables

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 6049-007 testing. This European standard covers the characteristics of post-installation flexible self-coiling shielding sleeves for electrical cable and cable bundles made of meta-aramid fibers and provides a water-repellent protection for aerospace applications.

Self-winding shielding sleeves are designed to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) in high performance applications such as aerospace and military.

These cases offer several features that make them suitable for these harsh environments:

• Flexibility: The sleeves are designed to be flexible and bendable, making them suitable for use in tight spaces and curved places.
• Self-crimping: The sleeves are designed to crimp on themselves, allowing for easy donning and removal without the need for additional fasteners or tools.
• Shielding effectiveness: The sleeves are made of meta-aramid fibers, which provides excellent shielding effectiveness against EMI and RFI.
• High temperature resistance: Meta-aramid fibers are known for their high temperature resistance, making them suitable for use in applications where high temperatures may be encountered.
• Chemical resistance: Cuffs are designed to withstand a wide range of chemicals, including fuels, oils and solvents.
• Lightweight: Cuffs are lightweight and this is important in aerospace applications where weight reduction is an important consideration.
• Durable: The sleeves are designed to be durable and long lasting even in harsh environments.

Generally, these tests are performed to ensure that, once installed, flexible and retractable protective sleeves meet required specifications and performance standards and are suitable for high-performance applications such as aerospace and military.
