Product Overview
The CKEPJ85/NC is a premium double-sheathed, Fire Resistant marine control cable designed to provide both exceptional circuit integrity during fire emergencies and enhanced mechanical durability. Combining Mica/EPR fire-resistant insulation with a Halogen-Free, Low Smoke (LSHF) dual-layer SHF2 sheath and copper braid armor, it is engineered for critical power, lighting, and control systems in the most demanding marine, offshore, and industrial applications. This cable meets IEC 60331 fire resistance and IEC 60092 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance: Complies with IEC 60331, ensuring continued circuit operation for a specified duration under direct flame, which is vital for emergency systems, alarms, and control circuits.
-
Enhanced Mechanical & Environmental Protection: The dual-layer Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) sheath provides superior resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and weathering. Tinned Copper Braid Armor offers effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and mechanical protection.
-
Comprehensive Fire Safety: Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties prevent corrosive gas emission and improve visibility. Also rated for general Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332).
-
Robust Construction for Harsh Environments: Mica glass tape with EPR insulation ensures fire survival and thermal stability (90°C), making the cable ideal for fixed installations in challenging conditions.
