Product Overview
The CKEVP82/NA is a premium Fire Resistant, Screened marine control cable designed for critical safety and control systems where operational integrity during a fire must be combined with signal clarity and flexible mechanical protection. It features a mica glass tape and EPR insulation core for certified fire resistance, an EMI/RFI screen, a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a robust double-layer PVC sheath. This construction is ideal for vital circuits in marine, offshore, and industrial plants that demand fire survivability, interference protection, and durability with good installation flexibility.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance (IEC 60331): The mica glass tape barrier ensures circuit integrity is maintained under fire conditions, allowing critical emergency, alarm, and shutdown systems to remain operational.
-
Flexible Armor & EMI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor provides effective mechanical protection against abrasion and impact while offering greater flexibility for routing compared to steel armor. The integrated electrical screen protects sensitive signals from electromagnetic interference.
-
Enhanced Durability: The double-layer PVC sheath provides excellent overall mechanical toughness and resistance to moisture, oils, and chemicals, ensuring long-term protection for the critical fire-resistant core.
