S1/S5 RFOU(i) 250V Offshore Communication Cable | Individually Screened | NEK 606

NEK 606 Offshore Instrumentation and Signal Cable
Description

Product Overview

The S1/S5 RFOU(i) 250V Offshore Communication Cable represents advanced signal transmission technology for critical offshore applications. Designed with individual pair screening and full NEK 606 compliance, this cable ensures reliable data and signal transmission in the demanding conditions of marine environments while providing essential flame retardancy, halogen-free safety, and mud resistance.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Individual Pair Screening: Each twisted pair/triple features copper-backed polyester tape screening for superior EMI protection

  • Enhanced Signal Integrity: Advanced screening technology minimizes cross-talk and electromagnetic interference

  • Comprehensive Safety: Flame retardant, low smoke, and halogen-free construction ensures personnel safety

  • Mud Resistant Design: Special SHF Mud outer sheath withstands harsh offshore drilling conditions

  • Flexible Conductor Options: Available in 0.75mm², 1.5mm², and 2.5mm² to suit various signal requirements

  • Robust Protection: Tinned copper braid armour provides mechanical strength and reliable grounding
