Product Overview
The CKEPFP90/NC is a high-integrity Fire Resistant and Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) marine control cable designed for critical power, lighting, and control circuits where operational continuity during a fire is imperative and personnel safety is enhanced. It features a mica glass tape and EPR insulation core for certified fire resistance, Halogen-Free Low Smoke safety properties, an EMI/RFI screen, and galvanized steel wire armor. This cable is protected by a single Thermoplastic Polyolefin (SHF1) inner sheath with no outer oversheath, offering a streamlined, grounding-ready solution for the most demanding marine, offshore, and industrial safety applications.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Dual Safety Certification: Fire Resistant (IEC 60331) to maintain circuit integrity under fire, and Halogen-Free Low Smoke (IEC 60754 & 61034) to minimize toxic and corrosive fume emissions, protecting both essential system function and personnel.
-
Maximum Mechanical & EMI Protection: The galvanized steel wire armor provides superior resistance to crushing, impact, and rodent damage. The integrated electrical screen protects sensitive control signals from electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI).
-
Grounding-Ready & Robust Design: The single SHF1 sheath provides durable environmental protection. With no outer oversheath, the conductive armor is accessible for direct and reliable grounding to ship hulls or structural grounds, fulfilling critical electrical safety requirements.
