Product Overview
The CKEPJP80/NC is a premium Fire Resistant and Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) marine control cable designed for the most critical safety and control circuits. It combines EPR insulation with a mica glass tape barrier for certified fire resistance, Halogen-Free Low Smoke safety properties, an EMI/RFI screen, and a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor. Protected by a single Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) inner sheath with no outer oversheath, this streamlined, grounding-ready design is engineered for vital systems in demanding marine, offshore, and industrial environments where ultimate safety, flexibility, and reliable grounding 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.
-
Flexible Armor & EMI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor provides effective protection against abrasion and impact while offering excellent installation flexibility. The integrated electrical screen protects sensitive control signals from electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI).
-
Grounding-Ready & Compact Design: The single SHF2 sheath over the armor, with no outer oversheath, allows for direct access to the conductive armor for secure grounding in panels or trays. This results in a more compact cable profile ideal for dense control panel wiring.
