Product Overview
The CKEPF86/NC is a double-sheathed, Fire Resistant (IEC 60331) marine control cable engineered for essential and emergency circuits requiring guaranteed circuit integrity under fire conditions. It features a Mica/EPR insulation system and copper braid armor, all within a robust dual-layer LSHF sheath, providing a comprehensive solution for critical power, lighting, and control systems in the most demanding marine and industrial environments. This cable is fully compliant with IEC 60092 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance: Complies with IEC 60331, ensuring continued operation of critical circuits such as emergency lighting, alarms, and shutdown systems during a fire event.
-
Enhanced Personnel Safety: Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties minimize toxic fumes and improve visibility for safe evacuation and firefighting.
-
Robust Mechanical & EMI Protection: Double-layer thermoplastic polyolefin (SHF1) sheath offers superior resistance to abrasion, oils, and chemicals. Tinned copper wire braid armor provides mechanical protection and effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.
-
All-Round Fire Performance: Combines Fire Resistant (IEC 60331) with Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) characteristics for maximum safety.
