Product Overview
The CKEPJ90/NC is a premium Fire Resistant marine control cable engineered to maintain circuit integrity during fire emergencies, ensuring the continuous operation of critical safety systems. Designed with Mica/EPR insulation and Halogen-Free, Low Smoke (LSHF) materials, it provides ultimate protection for power, lighting, and control circuits in the most demanding marine, offshore, and industrial environments. This cable meets the stringent requirements of IEC 60092 and carries the crucial IEC 60331 fire resistance certification.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance: Complies with IEC 60331, ensuring the cable continues to function for a specified period under direct flame exposure, which is critical for emergency shutdown, alarm, and communication circuits.
-
Enhanced Fire Safety: Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties prevent the emission of corrosive gases and dense smoke, facilitating safer evacuation. Also rated for Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332).
-
Robust Mechanical Protection: Galvanized Steel Wire Braid armor offers superior tensile strength and resistance to mechanical impact, crushing, and rodent damage, ideal for harsh installations.
-
High-Temperature & Durability: Mica glass tape with EPR insulation and Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) sheath ensure stable performance at up to 90°C and excellent resistance to environmental stress.
