Product Overview
The CKEPFP80/SC is a specialized screened and armored marine control cable designed for power, lighting, and control circuits where electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection and flexibility are paramount. It features EPR insulation, an overall screen, and a tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8). Notably supplied without an outer sheath (Code 0), this configuration provides a versatile and high-performance core for integration into panels, conduits, or systems requiring a custom final jacket. Its Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Flame Retardant construction ensures safety in demanding marine and industrial applications, complying with IEC 60092 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Effective EMI/RFI Shielding: The combination of an individual pair/overall screen (Code P) and copper braid armor (Code 8) offers superior protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, ensuring signal integrity for sensitive control equipment.
-
High Flexibility & Durability: The tinned copper wire braid armor provides excellent mechanical protection while maintaining far greater flexibility than steel armor, making it ideal for applications with frequent movement or tight bends.
-
Installation & Integration Flexibility: Supplied without an outer sheath, this cable is perfect for OEMs, panel builders, or installations where the shielded and armored core must be routed through specialized trunking or have a custom protective jacket applied onsite.
-
Enhanced Safety Profile: Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties improve safety in confined spaces. The construction meets stringent Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) requirements.
