Product Overview
The CKEV82/NA is a specialized Fire Resistant marine control cable engineered to maintain circuit integrity and ensure the continuous operation of critical systems during fire emergencies. Designed with a robust Mica Glass Tape + EPR insulation core, this cable complies with the stringent IEC 60331 fire resistance standard, making it essential for vital power, lighting, and control circuits on ships, offshore platforms, and in high-risk industrial plants. It also features Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) properties for enhanced personnel safety.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance: Meets IEC 60331 requirements, ensuring the cable continues to function for a specified duration under direct flame exposure, crucial for emergency systems, alarms, and shutdown circuits.
-
Enhanced Fire Safety: Combines fire resistance with Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties to reduce toxic fumes and smoke opacity, aiding safe evacuation.
-
Dual Fire Protection: Also complies with general Flame Retardant standards (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) to inhibit fire propagation along the cable run.
-
Robust Construction: The Mica/EPR insulation provides superior thermal and electrical integrity at high temperatures. Tinned copper braid armor offers mechanical protection and EMI shielding, while the double-layer PVC sheath ensures durability against environmental stress.
