Product Overview
The CKEFP82/NA is a Fire Resistant, Screened marine control cable engineered for critical power, lighting, and control systems requiring guaranteed circuit integrity during a fire, combined with flexible mechanical protection and signal clarity. 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, flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a PVC outer sheath. This construction is ideal for vital circuits in demanding marine, offshore, and industrial environments where fire safety, flexibility, and durability are paramount.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance (IEC 60331): The mica glass tape barrier ensures the cable maintains circuit integrity and continues to operate for a specified period under direct flame, which is critical for emergency and safety systems.
-
Flexible Armor & Oil-Resistant Sheath: The tinned copper wire braid armor provides effective mechanical protection against abrasion and impact while offering greater installation flexibility. The PCP inner sheath delivers excellent resistance to oils, chemicals, and weathering.
-
EMI Shielding & Complete Protection: An integrated electrical screen protects sensitive control signals from electromagnetic interference. The combination of PCP and PVC sheaths provides comprehensive environmental and mechanical durability.
