Product Overview
The CKEPF90/NC is a Fire Resistant (IEC 60331) marine control cable designed for critical power, lighting, and control circuits where maintaining circuit integrity during fire is essential. It combines Mica/EPR insulation for superior fire resistance with Halogen-Free, Low Smoke (LSHF) properties to enhance personnel safety. This robust cable, featuring galvanized steel wire braid armor, is engineered for the most demanding fixed installations in marine and industrial environments, fully complying with IEC 60092 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance: Complies with IEC 60331, ensuring the cable continues to operate for a specified period under direct flame, which is critical for emergency systems, alarms, and shutdown circuits.
-
Enhanced Safety: Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties reduce toxic and corrosive gas emissions while improving visibility for safe evacuation.
-
Robust Construction: Mica glass tape + EPR insulation provides exceptional thermal and fire protection. Galvanized steel wire braid armor offers superior mechanical protection and earth continuity.
-
Dual Fire Performance: Combines Fire Resistant (IEC 60331) with Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) properties for comprehensive safety.
