8kV TENB Offshore Power Cable | IEEE 1580 Compliant Marine & Offshore Electrical Cable

8kV TENB Offshore Power Cable | IEEE 1580 Compliant Marine & Offshore Electrical Cable

Product Overview

8kV TENB Offshore Power Cable is an IEEE 1580 standard compliant high-voltage cable specifically engineered for harsh marine environments. Designed for electrical power transmission on drilling vessels and offshore platforms, this cable features exceptional cold and high-temperature resistance with robust bronze armor protection.


Applications

  • Drilling ships and platforms (Jack-up, semi-submersible)

  • Production platforms (TLP, Semi-submersible, SPAR, Fixed platforms)

  • FPSO/FSO vessels

  • Offshore power distribution systems

  • Marine vessel electrical networks

  • Harsh environment offshore power transmission


Key Features

  • IEEE 1580 Compliant: Meets stringent offshore cable standards

  • Temperature Resistant: Suitable for both cold and high-temperature environments

  • Robust Construction: Bronze wire armor for mechanical protection

  • Flexible Design: Stranded tinned copper conductors for ease of installation

  • Flame Retardant: Enhanced safety for offshore applications

  • Non-Hygroscopic: Resists moisture absorption in marine environments


Standards Compliance

  • IEEE 1580 - Standard for Marine Cable

  • UL 1072 - Standard for Medium-Voltage Power Cables

  • UL 1309 - Standard for Marine Shipboard Cables
