Product Overview
The CKEPJ/SC is a premium unarmored marine control cable engineered for applications where maximum fire safety, environmental durability, and material stability are critical. It combines reliable EPR insulation with an advanced cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) outer sheath, achieving full Halogen-Free, Low Smoke Flame Retardant (LSHF/SC) certification. This cable is designed for reliable power, lighting, and control circuits in confined or high-safety areas on ships, offshore platforms, and in demanding industrial plants, offering superior performance in line with IEC 60092 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Enhanced Fire Safety for Confined Spaces: Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties minimize toxic/corrosive fumes and smoke density, crucial for evacuation and firefighting. Certified for high Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22).
-
Superior Sheath Durability: The cross-linked polyolefin sheath (Code PJ, SHF2) is a thermoset material offering excellent resistance to heat, chemicals, abrasion, and environmental stress cracking, providing long-term reliability beyond standard thermoplastic sheaths.
-
Excellent Thermal & Electrical Stability: EPR insulation ensures stable performance at a continuous temperature of 90°C, while the cross-linked sheath maintains integrity under thermal stress.
-
Lightweight & Flexible: The non-armored, single-sheath design makes this cable lightweight and easy to install in cable trays, conduits, and control panels.
