Product Overview
The CKEV80/SA is a flexible armored marine control cable designed for applications where easy installation, mechanical protection, and customization flexibility are key requirements. It features reliable EPR insulation, a PVC inner sheath, and a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor. Supplied without an outer sheath (Code 0), this SA-grade flame-retardant cable provides a versatile armored core solution, ideal for integration into panels, conduits, or systems where a specific final protective jacket will be applied on-site. It is fully compliant with IEC 60092 standards for marine and industrial power, lighting, and control circuits.
Key Features & Benefits
-
High Flexibility for Easy Installation: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) provides effective mechanical protection while ensuring excellent cable flexibility, making it easier to route and install in complex or confined spaces compared to rigid steel armor.
-
Customizable Final Protection: Supplied without an outer sheath, this cable offers maximum adaptability for system integrators and installers to apply a custom PVC, LSZH, or other specialized outer jacket, conduit, or fireproofing layer tailored to the specific environmental or safety requirements of the final installation.
-
Cost-Effective Armored Core: Delivers the essential benefits of a durable marine cable—thermally stable EPR insulation (90°C) and flexible armor—providing a versatile and economical base for final application finishing.
-
Certified Flame Retardant Safety: Rated for SA-grade Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22), ensuring it meets stringent requirements to inhibit the spread of fire in bunched cable installations.
