Product Overview
The CKEPJ95/NC represents a top-tier, heavy-duty armored Fire Resistant marine control cable, engineered for the most demanding applications where maximum mechanical protection and ultimate fire safety are required. It combines the critical IEC 60331 fire resistance and Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) safety features with a robust construction featuring galvanized steel wire braid armor and a double-layer Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) sheath. This cable is designed to ensure circuit integrity under fire, withstand severe mechanical stress, and resist harsh environmental conditions on ships, offshore platforms, and in extreme industrial settings.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Integrity: Complies with IEC 60331, guaranteeing continued operation of essential circuits (e.g., emergency shutdown, alarms, fire pumps) during a fire event.
-
Superior Personnel & Asset Safety: Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties minimize toxic/corrosive gas emission and smoke opacity for safer evacuation and reduced equipment damage.
-
Heavy-Duty Mechanical Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (Code 9) provides exceptional resistance to crushing, impact, abrasion, and rodent attack, far exceeding standard copper braid.
-
Enhanced Environmental Resilience: The dual-layer Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) sheath offers excellent thermal stability, chemical/oil resistance, and durability, ensuring long-term performance in harsh conditions.
