Product Overview
The CKEFP/NA is a specialized Fire Resistant, Screened marine control cable designed for critical power, lighting, and control systems where maintaining circuit integrity during a fire is essential. It features a core of EPR insulation over a mica glass tape layer for certified fire resistance, an integrated electrical screen, and an outer Polychloroprene (PCP) sheath known for its excellent durability and oil resistance. This cable is engineered for vital circuits in demanding marine, offshore, and industrial environments, ensuring operational continuity and signal clarity in emergency conditions, in compliance with IEC 60092 and the key IEC 60331 fire resistance standard.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance (IEC 60331): Constructed with a mica glass tape barrier beneath EPR insulation, this cable is designed to maintain circuit integrity and continue functioning for a specified period under direct flame, a critical requirement for safety and emergency systems.
-
EMI/RFI Shielding & Durable Sheath: An integrated electrical screen provides reliable protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI). The outer Polychloroprene (PCP) sheath offers superior resistance to oils, abrasion, weathering, and mechanical stress, ensuring long-term durability in harsh conditions.
-
Flexible & Heat-Resistant Insulation: EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) insulation provides excellent thermal stability (rated for 90°C), flexibility, and aging performance, complementing the fire-resistant design.
