Product Overview
The CKEPJ95/SC is a high-performance Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) flame-retardant marine control cable designed for critical power, lighting, and control circuits in demanding environments. It features EPR insulation, an inner and outer sheath of cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2), and robust galvanized steel wire braid armor. This construction delivers superior fire safety with minimal smoke and toxic fumes, excellent mechanical protection, and enhanced thermal/chemical resistance, making it fully compliant with IEC 60092 standards for use on ships, offshore platforms, and in heavy industries.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Enhanced Fire Safety (LSHF): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties significantly reduce corrosive gas emission and smoke density in the event of a fire, improving visibility and safety for evacuation. Meets stringent Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) requirements.
-
Superior Mechanical & Thermal Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (Code 9) provides maximum resistance against impact, crushing, and rodent damage. The cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) sheaths offer improved thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength compared to standard thermoplastic sheaths.
-
Durable & Resilient Construction: EPR insulation ensures reliable electrical performance and long-term thermal endurance at 90°C. The dual-layer SHF2 sheath system provides excellent environmental protection against moisture, oils, and abrasion.
-
Ideal for Confined Spaces: Its LSHF characteristics make this cable particularly suitable for enclosed or poorly ventilated areas on vessels and offshore installations where fire safety is paramount.
