Product Overview
The CKEVP92/NA is a high-integrity Fire Resistant, Screened, and Armored marine control cable designed for the most critical safety and control circuits where system operation must be maintained during a fire. It combines EPR insulation with a mica glass tape barrier for certified fire resistance, an EMI/RFI screen for signal integrity, and galvanized steel wire armor within a double-layer PVC sheath for maximum mechanical and environmental protection. This robust construction is engineered for vital systems in the most demanding marine, offshore, and industrial applications, complying with the stringent IEC 60331 fire resistance standard and IEC 60092.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance (IEC 60331): The mica glass tape and EPR insulation construction ensures the cable maintains circuit integrity and continues to operate for a specified duration under direct flame, which is critical for emergency shutdown, alarm, and safety systems.
-
Comprehensive Protection: Provides a triple layer of defense: an electrical screen protects against electromagnetic interference, galvanized steel wire armor offers superior crush and impact resistance, and a double PVC sheath ensures durability against moisture, chemicals, and abrasion.
-
Reliable Performance in Extreme Conditions: EPR insulation provides excellent thermal stability (90°C) and flexibility. The overall design is built to withstand harsh physical and environmental stresses while performing its vital safety function.
