Product Overview
The CKJV80/SA is a marine control cable designed for power, lighting, and control systems where flexible mechanical protection and grounding capability are key requirements. It features robust XLPE insulation, a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a single PVC inner sheath with no outer oversheath. This streamlined construction offers reliable physical protection and easy access to the conductive armor for grounding, making it an efficient choice for fixed installations in marine and industrial environments that comply with IEC 60092 flame retardant standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Flexible Armor Protection: The tinned copper wire braid armor provides effective resistance against abrasion, cutting, and vibration while maintaining greater cable flexibility. This facilitates easier installation in tight spaces and complex routing compared to rigid steel armor.
-
Grounding-Ready Design: The single-layer PVC sheath over the armor, combined with no outer oversheath, ensures direct access to the conductive copper armor. This design simplifies and ensures reliable grounding connections in control panels, cabinets, or grounded cable trays.
-
Durable & Cost-Effective: XLPE insulation delivers stable electrical performance at temperatures up to 90°C. The cable construction meets IEC 60332 flame retardancy standards, providing a reliable balance of safety, durability, and value.
