What is BS EN 2641 - Specification for control cable assemblies about?
BS EN 2641 is a European Standard that discusses control cable assemblies.
BS EN 2641 specifies the range of combinations, the length, and the designation of cable assemblies comprising end fittings swaged at each end of a length of cable.
The main objective of BS EN 2641 is to ensure the control cable assemblies play a positive role in the performance and efficiency of aerospace applications and systems.
Who is BS EN 2641 - Specification for control cable assemblies for?
BS EN 2641 on specification for control cable assemblies is applicable for:
- Control cable assembly manufacturers
- Aerospace fluid system and component manufacturers
- Quality control and inspection personnel
- Product design engineers
- Aeronautical engineers
- The aerospace industry
- Regulatory bodies
- National authorities
Why should you use BS EN 2641 - Specification for control cable assemblies?
Cable assemblies are a length of electrical or fibre optic cable material terminated with some type of connector or contact at one or both ends. A cable assembly usually goes into one panel or port and connects to that single unit that is directly plugged into the power source. Cable assemblies help prevent damage to cables and wires by keeping them together and reducing the physical failures from strong vibrations and other factors. They also provide protection from other problems such as dirt, dust, oil, and water. Thus, to ensure that they are safe, reliable and effective for use, it is vital to take into consideration best industry specifications when manufacturing control cable assemblies.
BS EN 2641 provides you with characteristics such as dimensions and tolerances, combinations and codes of cable/cable ends.
BS EN 2641 also assists you with the appropriate material and surface treatment, designation, and technical specification for control cable assemblies.
BS EN 2641 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of control cable assemblies to adhere to if they supply their components for use by the aerospace industry.
Thus, with compliance to BS EN 2641, you can demonstrate the reliability of the control cable assemblies and build trust in its use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
