Product Overview
The CKEV90/NA is a robust Fire Resistant marine control cable designed for critical circuits where superior mechanical protection and certified fire integrity are required. It features a core of mica glass tape and EPR insulation for fire resistance (IEC 60331), protected by a Galvanized Steel Wire Braid Armor and an inner PVC sheath. Characterized by having no outer sheath over the armor, this construction is ideal for installations where the armored layer is utilized as the final protective barrier, often within conduits, sealed trunks, or protected trays on ships, offshore platforms, and in heavy industry.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance: Complies with IEC 60331, ensuring vital circuit continuity for emergency power, lighting, and control systems during fire conditions.
-
High Mechanical Strength Armor: The exposed Galvanized Steel Wire Braid Armor provides maximum resistance to crushing, impact, and tensile stress, suitable for demanding installation pathways.
-
Integrated Safety Design: Combines Fire Resistance (IEC 60331) with Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332), Halogen-Free (IEC 60754), and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties for comprehensive safety.
-
Efficient Construction: The "no outer sheath" (Code 0) design over the armor is specified for applications where an additional sheath is not required, simplifying certain installation requirements.

Applications
This cable is designed for fixed installations where fire resistance and high mechanical protection are critical, and where an outer sheath over the armor is specified as unnecessary:
-
Marine & Offshore: Essential power, lighting, and control systems on ships and offshore constructions, often installed within metallic conduits, protected cable trunks, or dedicated armored cable trays.
-
Heavy Industry: Critical circuits in power plants, chemical industry, mining, and metallurgy, particularly where cables are subject to physical stress and are installed in controlled, dry, or protected environments.
