Product Overview
The CKEV/NA is a specialized Fire Resistant marine control cable designed for critical power, lighting, and control circuits where circuit integrity must be maintained during a fire. It features a mica glass tape and EPR composite insulation system and a PVC sheath, providing certified fire resistance alongside low smoke and halogen-free properties. This cable is engineered for the most demanding safety applications on ships, offshore platforms, and in high-risk industrial facilities, complying with the IEC 60092 series and the stringent IEC 60331 fire resistance standard.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance: Meets IEC 60331 standards, ensuring the cable continues to operate for a specified period under direct flame exposure, which is critical for emergency systems, alarms, and shutdown circuits.
-
Enhanced Fire Safety Suite: Combines fire resistance with Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties to reduce toxic fumes and smoke opacity, and provides Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332) to inhibit fire spread.
-
Robust Construction for Critical Systems: The mica glass tape and EPR insulation offers exceptional thermal and electrical integrity at high temperatures. The overall design ensures reliability in harsh environments.
