Product Overview
The CKEPJP90/NC is a premium Fire Resistant and Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) marine control cable designed for the most critical safety and control circuits. Combining EPR insulation with a mica glass tape barrier for certified fire resistance, Halogen-Free Low Smoke safety properties, an EMI/RFI screen, and heavy-duty galvanized steel wire armor, this cable is protected by a single Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) sheath with no outer oversheath. This streamlined, grounding-ready design is engineered for vital systems in harsh marine, offshore, and industrial environments where ultimate safety and reliability are required.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Dual Safety Certification: Fire Resistant (IEC 60331) to maintain circuit operation during a fire, and Halogen-Free Low Smoke (IEC 60754 & 61034) to minimize toxic fumes and smoke, ensuring both system integrity and personnel safety.
-
Maximum Mechanical & EMI Protection: The galvanized steel wire armor provides superior resistance to crushing and impact. An integrated electrical screen protects sensitive control signals from electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI).
-
Grounding-Ready & Durable: The single SHF2 sheath offers excellent environmental protection. With no outer oversheath, the armor is accessible for direct and reliable grounding to structural hulls or panels, while the SHF2 material provides superior thermal and chemical resistance.
