We report on a 61 ks BeppoSAX observation of the soft X–ray transient Cen X-4 during quiescence which allowed to study the source X–ray spectrum from \sim 0.3 keV to \sim 8 keV .
A two-component spectral model was required , consisting of a black body with temperature of \sim 0.1 keV and a power law with photon index \sim 2 .
These values are compatible with earlier ASCA results indicating that Cen X-4 may be stable , within a factor of a few , over a 5 year baseline .
