Product Overview
The CKEPF80/NC is a Fire Resistant (IEC 60331), single-sheathed marine control cable designed for essential circuits where maintaining operational integrity during fire is critical. It combines a Mica/EPR insulation system for fire survival with tinned copper braid armor for flexibility and EMI shielding, all housed in a single layer of Halogen-Free, Low Smoke (LSHF) sheath. This configuration is ideal for installations where space is a consideration and electromagnetic compatibility is important, fully complying with IEC 60092 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance: Meets IEC 60331 requirements, ensuring critical circuits for emergency lighting, alarms, and control systems remain functional under fire conditions.
-
Superior Safety & Environmental Profile: Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties reduce hazardous emissions and improve visibility, safeguarding personnel and equipment.
-
Flexible Armor with EMI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor provides excellent mechanical protection, good flexibility for easier installation, and effective protection against electromagnetic interference.
-
Compact & Durable Design: The single LSHF sheath over armor offers a streamlined profile for efficient cable routing while maintaining resistance to oils and chemicals.
