Product Overview
The CKEV90/SA is a heavy-duty armored marine control cable designed for applications requiring maximum mechanical protection combined with final installation flexibility. It features reliable EPR insulation, a PVC inner sheath, and robust galvanized steel wire armor. Supplied without an outer sheath (Code 0), this SA-grade flame-retardant cable is ideal for integration into control panels, conduits, or systems where a specific type of final over-sheathing or fireproofing is applied on-site. It provides a durable core solution for power, lighting, and control circuits, fully compliant with IEC 60092 standards for marine and industrial use.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Superior Mechanical & Crush Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (Code 9) provides excellent defense against physical impact, crushing forces, and rodent damage in demanding environments.
-
Installation & Customization Flexibility: The absence of an outer sheath (Code 0) makes this armored cable core ideal for system integrators, panel builders, or installations where the cable will be routed through dedicated trunking or receive a custom protective or fire-retardant outer jacket tailored to specific project requirements.
-
Cost-Effective & Reliable Core: Provides the essential components of a durable marine cable—thermally stable EPR insulation and strong armor—offering a versatile and adaptable base for final application finishing.
-
Certified Flame Retardant Safety: Rated for SA-grade Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22), ensuring verified performance to inhibit fire spread in bunched cable installations.
