Product Overview
The CKEFP90/NA is a heavy-duty Fire Resistant, Screened marine control cable designed for critical safety and control circuits where operational continuity during a fire and maximum mechanical protection are essential. It features a mica glass tape and EPR insulation core for certified fire resistance, an EMI/RFI screen, and is protected by a durable, oil-resistant Polychloroprene (PCP) inner sheath and galvanized steel wire armor. With no outer oversheath, this streamlined, grounding-ready design is engineered for the most demanding marine, offshore, and industrial applications where fire, oil, and extreme physical stress are present.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance (IEC 60331): The mica glass tape barrier ensures circuit integrity is maintained under fire conditions, allowing critical emergency and shutdown systems to remain operational.
-
Maximum Mechanical & Oil-Resistant Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid armor provides supreme resistance to crushing, impact, and rodent damage. The PCP inner sheath offers exceptional resistance to oils, chemicals, abrasion, and weathering.
-
EMI Shielding & Grounding-Ready Design: An integrated electrical screen protects sensitive signals from interference. The exposed armor, with no outer oversheath, facilitates direct and reliable grounding to structural hulls or grounds.
