Product Overview
The CKEFP90/SA is a robust screened and armored marine control cable designed for applications requiring superior mechanical protection and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, with final installation flexibility. It features EPR insulation, an oil-resistant PCP inner sheath, an overall EMI screen, and heavy-duty galvanized steel wire armor. Supplied without an outer sheath (Code 0), this SA-grade flame-retardant cable is ideal for integration into systems where additional conduit, jacketing, or custom protection is applied on-site, ensuring compliance with IEC 60092 standards for marine and industrial control systems.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Superior Mechanical & Crush Resistance: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (Code 9) provides maximum protection against physical impact, crushing forces, and rodent damage in demanding environments.
-
Excellent EMI Shielding & Internal Protection: An overall screen (Code P) safeguards signal integrity, while the PCP inner sheath (Code F) offers oil and chemical resistance, protecting the core before the armored layer.
-
Installation & Customization Flexibility: The absence of an outer sheath (Code 0) makes this cable ideal for panel building, routing through dedicated trunking, or for applications where a specific type of final over-sheathing or fireproofing is required in situ.
-
Certified Flame Retardant Safety: Rated for SA-grade Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22), providing verified performance in bunched cable installations to inhibit fire spread.
