CKEPJP80/SC Screened & Flexible Armored Marine Control Cable (Without Outer Sheath)
Product Overview
The CKEPJP80/SC is a highly flexible, screened and copper braid armored marine control cable designed for installation within protected enclosures where space, flexibility, and electromagnetic compatibility are critical. It features EPR insulation, a Low Smoke Halogen Free Flame Retardant (LSHF) cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) inner sheath, and is supplied without an overall outer sheath (Code 0). Its dual-layer tinned copper braid construction provides excellent EMI shielding and flexible mechanical protection, making it ideal for panel wiring, cabinet internals, and other controlled environments on ships and offshore installations.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Superior EMI Shielding & Flexible Protection: Combines a tinned copper braid/tape screen for optimal electromagnetic interference suppression with a tinned copper wire braid armor that offers robust yet highly flexible mechanical protection, perfect for tight bends and vibration-prone areas.
-
Enhanced Fire Safety in Confined Spaces: The LSHF (IEC 60754, IEC 61034) SHF2 inner sheath ensures excellent flame retardancy (IEC 60332), minimizing toxic fumes and smoke in the event of a fire—a critical safety feature for enclosed panels.
-
Optimized for Protected, Flexible Installations: The "0" designation (Without Outer Sheath) makes this cable the preferred choice for final assembly inside control panels, switchgear, junction boxes, or as a component within multi-layer cable systems, saving space and allowing for maximum flexibility.
-
Durable Core Construction: EPR insulation guarantees reliable performance at a continuous temperature of 90°C, ensuring long-term electrical integrity.
