CKEPFP/SC Screened Marine Control Cable (Flexible, Unarmored)
Product Overview
The CKEPFP/SC is a flexible and lightweight screened marine control cable designed for applications requiring effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection without the need for mechanical armor. It features EPR insulation, a Low Smoke Halogen Free Flame Retardant (LSHF) thermoplastic polyolefin (SHF1) sheath, and an overall tinned copper or aluminum foil screen. This combination provides essential noise suppression and enhanced fire safety, making it ideal for control and instrumentation circuits in general areas of ships, offshore platforms, and industrial plants where flexibility and ease of installation are priorities.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Essential EMI Protection: The overall screen (braid or tape) effectively suppresses electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI), ensuring signal integrity for sensitive control and measurement systems.
-
Enhanced Safety & Flexibility: The LSHF (IEC 60754, IEC 61034) SHF1 sheath provides excellent flame retardancy (IEC 60332) and low smoke emission. The unarmored design offers superior flexibility for easy routing in cable trays, conduits, and confined spaces.
-
Lightweight & Cost-Effective: Without metallic armor, this cable is lighter and more economical, ideal for applications where extreme mechanical protection is provided by the installation method (e.g., inside conduits) rather than the cable itself.
-
Durable and Reliable: EPR insulation ensures stable electrical performance at a continuous temperature of 90°C, resistant to heat, moisture, and aging.
