Product Overview
The CKEFP80/NA is a specialized Fire Resistant, Screened marine control cable designed for critical power, lighting, and control systems where guaranteed circuit integrity during a fire must be 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 and a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor. With no outer oversheath, this streamlined, grounding-ready design is engineered for vital circuits in demanding marine, offshore, and industrial environments where fire safety, flexibility, and oil resistance are crucial.
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, abrasion, and weathering.
-
EMI Shielding & Grounding-Ready Design: An integrated electrical screen protects sensitive control signals from electromagnetic interference. The exposed armor, with no outer oversheath, facilitates direct and reliable grounding in panels or to structural grounds.
