Product Overview
The CKEPJ85/SC is a high-flexibility Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) flame-retardant marine control cable engineered for applications requiring enhanced safety, superior EMI shielding, and ease of installation. It combines EPR insulation, a cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) inner sheath, flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a durable SHF2 outer sheath. This construction delivers the critical safety benefits of low smoke and zero halogen emission, effective electromagnetic protection, and excellent mechanical resilience, making it fully compliant with IEC 60092 standards for use in ships, offshore platforms, and demanding industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Enhanced Fire Safety (LSHF/SC Grade): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties drastically reduce toxic fumes and smoke opacity in fire situations, crucial for safe evacuation in enclosed spaces. Complies with stringent Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) standards.
-
Flexible Armor with EMI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) provides robust mechanical protection while maintaining high flexibility for routing in confined spaces. It also acts as an effective shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI), protecting sensitive control signals.
-
Durable & Chemically Resistant Sheathing: Both the inner and outer cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) sheaths (Code PJ & 5) offer superior thermal stability, resistance to oils, chemicals, and abrasion compared to standard thermoplastics, ensuring long-term cable integrity.
-
Superior Installability: The combination of flexible copper braid and a smooth SHF2 outer sheath makes this cable easier to handle, pull, and install than steel-armored alternatives, reducing labor time and effort.
