CKEPJ80/SC Marine Control Cable – EPR Insulated, Flexible Copper Braid Armor, LSHF (SHF2), No Outer Sheath

Product Overview

The CKEPJ80/SC is a specialized Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) marine control cable designed for applications demanding ultimate fire safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and installation flexibility. It features EPR insulation, a resilient cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) inner sheath, and a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor. Supplied without an outer sheath (Code 0), this SC-grade cable provides a high-performance, safety-compliant core ideal for final integration into systems requiring custom external jacketing or conduit, fully adhering to IEC 60092 standards for critical marine and industrial control circuits.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Premium Fire Safety (LSHF/SC Grade): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties minimize toxic gas emission and smoke density, enhancing safety in confined areas. Certified for high Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22).

  • Flexible Armor with EMI/RFI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) offers excellent mechanical protection and high flexibility for easier installation in tight spaces, while also providing effective shielding against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.

  • Thermally Stable & Protective Core: The cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) inner sheath (Code PJ) ensures superior thermal, chemical, and environmental resistance, safeguarding the cable core before final installation or application of an external jacket.

  • Maximum Integration Flexibility: The absence of an outer sheath (Code 0) offers unparalleled adaptability for system integrators and panel builders to apply a site-specific final over-sheath, conduit, or additional protective/fireproof layer tailored to precise application requirements.
