5kV TENB Offshore Power Cable | IEEE 1580 Bronze Armor Marine & Offshore Cable

Product Overview

5kV TENB Offshore Power Cable is an IEEE 1580 standard compliant high-voltage cable engineered for demanding marine environments. Featuring commercial bronze wire armor and EPR insulation, this cable provides reliable 5kV power transmission for offshore drilling and production operations with exceptional temperature resistance and mechanical 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 installations


Key Features

  • Bronze Armor Protection: Braided commercial bronze wires for superior corrosion resistance

  • IEEE 1580 Compliant: Meets stringent marine cable standards

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

  • Dual Screening: Comprehensive electromagnetic protection

  • 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
