Product Overview
The CKEF/NA is a premium Fire Resistant marine control cable, engineered to maintain circuit integrity and ensure continued operation of critical safety systems during a fire. Featuring a robust construction with Mica Glass Tape and EPR Insulation, combined with Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) materials, it is designed for the most demanding power, lighting, and control applications on ships, offshore platforms, and in hazardous industrial plants.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Critical Fire Resistance: Complies with IEC 60331, ensuring the cable continues to function for a specified period under direct flame and high temperatures, crucial for emergency systems.
-
Enhanced Fire Safety: Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties reduce toxic fumes and smoke opacity, aiding safe evacuation. It also meets Flame Retardant standards (IEC 60332).
-
Robust & Durable Construction: The combination of Mica Glass Tape and EPR insulation provides superior thermal and electrical integrity under extreme conditions, with a high operating temperature of 90°C.
-
Marine & Heavy Industrial Grade: The PCP (Polychloroprene) sheath offers excellent resistance to oil, weathering, and mechanical stress, suitable for harsh offshore and industrial environments.
