Product Overview
The CKEPFP86/SC is a premium screened marine control cable designed for reliable signal and power transmission in critical control systems. It combines EPR insulation, individual pair electromagnetic screening, flexible tinned copper braid armor, and a Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) flame-retardant outer sheath. This construction ensures excellent EMI protection, mechanical resilience, and enhanced safety for use on ships, offshore platforms, and in demanding industrial plants, fully complying with IEC 60092 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Enhanced Safety in Confined Spaces: Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) construction minimizes toxic fumes and reduces visibility obstruction in case of fire, complying with IEC 61034 and IEC 60754.
-
Superior EMI/RFI Shielding & Flexibility: The combination of an inner screen (foil or braid) and an outer tinned copper braid armor provides excellent protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, crucial for sensitive control signals. The copper braid offers superior flexibility compared to steel armor.
-
Robust Environmental Protection: The double-layer design with an inner sheath (PF) and a robust LSHF outer sheath (6) provides protection against moisture, oils, and mechanical abrasion.
-
Reliable Performance: EPR insulation ensures stable electrical properties and long-term durability in a 90°C operating environment.
