Product Overview
The CKEVP80/NA is a specialized Fire Resistant, Screened marine control cable engineered for critical circuits where operational integrity during a fire must be maintained, and both electromagnetic shielding and flexible mechanical protection are required. It features a mica glass tape and EPR insulation core for certified fire resistance, an integrated EMI/RFI screen, and a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor. Protected by a single PVC inner sheath with no outer oversheath, this streamlined, grounding-ready design is ideal for vital safety and control systems in marine, offshore, and industrial plants, complying with the stringent IEC 60331 standard.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance (IEC 60331): The mica glass tape barrier ensures the cable maintains circuit integrity and continues to function for a specified period under direct flame, which is critical for emergency shutdown, alarm, and safety circuits.
-
Flexible Armor & EMI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor provides effective mechanical protection against abrasion and impact while offering greater installation flexibility. The integrated electrical screen protects sensitive control signals from electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI).
-
Grounding-Ready & Compact Design: The single PVC sheath over the armor, with no outer oversheath, allows for direct access to the conductive armor for secure grounding in panels or trays, and results in a more compact cable profile.
