Product Overview
The CKEFP82/SA is a versatile and durable screened marine control cable designed for applications requiring a balance of electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection, mechanical resilience, and flexibility. It features EPR insulation, an oil-resistant PCP inner sheath, an overall EMI screen, flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a protective PVC outer sheath. This construction provides excellent signal integrity, resistance to oils and abrasion, and SA-grade Flame Retardant performance for reliable use in power, lighting, and control systems on ships, offshore platforms, and in industrial plants, complying with IEC 60092 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Flexible Armor & EMI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) offers effective mechanical protection while maintaining high flexibility for easier installation in tight spaces. Combined with the overall screen (Code P), it provides reliable EMI/RFI shielding for sensitive control signals.
-
Robust Environmental Protection: The cable features a dual-layer sheath system: an oil-resistant PCP inner sheath (Code F) and a tough PVC outer sheath (Code 2), guarding against moisture, oils, chemicals, and abrasion.
-
Flame Retardant & Durable: Certified for SA-grade Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) in bunched installations. The EPR insulation ensures long-term thermal stability and performance at temperatures up to 90°C.
-
Superior Installability: The combination of copper braid armor and a smooth PVC outer sheath makes this cable more flexible and easier to handle and route compared to steel-armored alternatives, without compromising on protection.
