Key Performance Characteristics
-
Superior EPR Insulation: Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation offers outstanding dielectric strength, high flexibility over a wide temperature range, and excellent long-term resistance to heat, moisture, and electrical stress.
-
Maximum Mechanical Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid armor provides exceptional resistance to crushing, impact, abrasion, and rodent damage, making it ideal for exposed or high-risk installation routes.
-
Halogen-Free & Enhanced Safety: The cable is constructed with halogen-free, low-smoke materials (IEC 60754 & IEC 61034) and is flame retardant (IEC 60332). This minimizes the emission of corrosive gases and dense smoke in a fire, enhancing safety in confined spaces.
-
High Flexibility Design: Despite its heavy-duty armor, the use of flexible Class 5/6 conductors ensures the cable remains manageable for installation in complex cable trays and confined spaces.
-
Corrosion-Resistant Armor: The galvanized coating on the steel wire helps protect against corrosion in humid and saline marine atmospheres.
Standards & Compliance
This cable is designed and manufactured in accordance with key international marine and safety standards:
-
IEC 60092-350, 353 (General construction and armor requirements)
-
IEC 60228 (Conductors)
-
IEC 60092-360 (Insulation and sheath materials)
-
IEC 60332-1 & IEC 60332-3-22 (Flame retardancy tests)
Typical Applications
This armored flexible cable is designed for applications where superior mechanical strength and fire safety are paramount:
-
Marine & Offshore: Power feeds and control circuits for deck machinery, winches, engine room auxiliary systems, and other critical applications on ships and offshore platforms where cables are exposed to severe mechanical stress.
-
Heavy Industry & Mining: Robust power and control wiring in mining operations, material handling systems, and industrial plants where resistance to crushing, impact, and abrasion is critical, alongside the need for enhanced fire safety.
