Product Overview
The CEPFR96/NC represents the ultimate in safety and durability for halogen-free marine flexible power cables. It is a premium halogen-free, low-smoke, fire-resistant cable engineered for the most critical circuits where maintaining operation during a fire, withstanding extreme physical stress, and providing full environmental protection are all essential. This cable combines Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation, a complete thermoplastic polyolefin (SHF1) dual-sheath system, and galvanized steel wire armor to deliver an uncompromising solution for vital safety and power systems in the most severe marine and industrial environments.

Key Performance Characteristics
-
Certified Fire Resistance (IEC 60331): The cable is engineered to maintain circuit integrity and continue operating for a specified duration under direct flame, which is non-negotiable for life-safety and emergency power circuits.
-
Complete Halogen-Free Safety Package: Integrates fire resistance (IEC 60331) with halogen-free materials (IEC 60754) and low smoke emission (IEC 61034), minimizing corrosive gas and dense smoke production during a fire to maximize personnel safety and visibility.
-
Maximum Mechanical & Environmental Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid armor offers supreme defense against crushing, impact, and tensile stresses. The full SHF1 outer sheath fully encapsulates the armor, providing an additional robust barrier against abrasion, moisture, oils, chemicals, and corrosion.
-
High Flexibility: Utilizes flexible Class 5/6 conductors, ensuring the cable remains manageable for installation in complex cable management systems despite its heavy-duty, fully protected construction.
-
Flame Retardant: Meets IEC 60332-1 and IEC 60332-3-22 standards, inhibiting the spread of flame along the cable run.
