Product Overview
The CEPFR90/NC is a premium halogen-free, low-smoke, fire-resistant marine flexible power cable engineered for critical circuits that demand both certified circuit integrity during a fire and superior mechanical strength. It combines Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation for excellent electrical and thermal stability, a thermoplastic polyolefin (SHF1) inner sheath, and galvanized steel wire braid armor. This robust design is essential for ensuring the continued operation of emergency and safety systems in physically demanding and high-risk environments on vessels and offshore installations.

Key Performance Characteristics
-
Certified Fire Resistance (IEC 60331): The cable is engineered to maintain circuit integrity and continue operating for a specified period under direct flame, a critical requirement for life-safety and emergency circuits.
-
Halogen-Free & Low Smoke Safety: Complies with IEC 60754 (halogen-free) and IEC 61034 (low smoke density), minimizing corrosive gas emission and smoke obscuration during a fire to enhance personnel safety in confined spaces.
-
Maximum Mechanical Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid armor provides exceptional resistance to crushing, impact, abrasion, and rodent damage, safeguarding the critical fire-resistant core in exposed or hazardous locations.
-
High Flexibility: Despite its heavy-duty armor, the use of flexible Class 5/6 conductors ensures sufficient flexibility for installation in essential cable routes and trays.
-
Flame Retardant: Meets IEC 60332-1 and IEC 60332-3-22 standards, inhibiting the spread of flame along the cable run.

Typical Applications
This armored fire-resistant cable is specified for the most critical circuits where operation during a fire and physical survivability are non-negotiable:
-
Marine & Offshore: Essential feeds to emergency generators, fire pump power and control circuits, and critical alarm systems on ships, oil platforms, and offshore structures, especially in areas prone to physical damage.
-
Heavy Industry & Critical Infrastructure: Safety-critical power and control wiring in power generation plants, chemical facilities, and heavy machinery where both fire resistance and high mechanical protection are required by strict safety protocols.
