Product Overview
The CKEPJP85/NC is an advanced Fire Resistant and Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) marine control cable, engineered for critical safety and control systems that demand the highest levels of operational integrity and personnel safety during fire incidents. Featuring a mica glass tape and EPR insulation core for certified fire resistance, combined with Halogen-Free Low Smoke properties, an EMI/RFI screen, and a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor within a double-layer Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) sheath, this cable provides an optimal balance of protection, flexibility, and signal clarity for the most demanding applications.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Dual Safety Certification: Fire Resistant (IEC 60331) to ensure circuit continuity under fire, and Halogen-Free Low Smoke (IEC 60754 & 61034) to minimize toxic fume and smoke emission, addressing both system functionality and human safety.
-
Flexible Protection & EMI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor offers excellent mechanical protection against abrasion and vibration while providing greater installation flexibility than steel armor. The integrated electrical screen ensures signal integrity by protecting against electromagnetic interference.
-
Superior Sheath Durability: The double-layer SHF2 sheath provides exceptional thermal stability, mechanical toughness, and chemical resistance, offering long-term environmental protection superior to standard sheathing materials.
