Product Overview
The CKEV82/SA is a versatile and flexible armored marine control cable designed for power, lighting, and control systems where a balance of mechanical protection, ease of installation, and cost-effectiveness is required. It features reliable EPR insulation, a PVC inner sheath, a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a durable PVC outer sheath. This combination provides excellent flexibility and good mechanical protection, making it suitable for a wide range of fixed installations on ships, offshore platforms, and in industrial environments. As an SA-grade Flame Retardant cable, it ensures safety in bunched installations and complies with IEC 60092 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Excellent Flexibility & Ease of Installation: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) offers effective mechanical protection while maintaining significantly higher flexibility compared to steel armor. This simplifies routing, pulling, and installation in confined spaces.
-
Good Mechanical & Environmental Protection: The dual-layer PVC sheathing (Inner V and Outer 2) provides reliable protection against moisture, abrasion, oils, and general environmental factors, ensuring long-term durability.
-
Cost-Effective Armored Solution: Provides a practical level of mechanical protection for applications where heavy steel armor is not required, offering a solid balance between performance and project economics.
-
Certified Flame Retardant Safety: Meets SA-grade Flame Retardancy standards (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) for performance in bunched cable installations, contributing to overall fire safety.
