Product Overview
The CKEPF/SC is a versatile Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Flame Retardant marine control cable designed for reliable power, lighting, and control circuits where enhanced fire safety and flexibility are key requirements. Featuring EPR insulation and a single, durable Thermoplastic Polyolefin (SHF1) outer sheath, this non-armored cable offers a lightweight and cost-effective solution for fixed installations in marine and industrial environments. It fully complies with the stringent IEC 60092 series of standards and is certified for halogen-free, low smoke, and flame-retardant performance.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Enhanced Fire Safety (LSHF/SC Grade): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties reduce the emission of corrosive, toxic gases and smoke, improving visibility and safety during evacuation. Meets Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) standards to inhibit fire spread.
-
Lightweight & Flexible: The simple, non-armored construction with a Thermoplastic Polyolefin (SHF1) sheath (Code PF) makes this cable lighter and more flexible than armored variants, simplifying handling and installation in conduits, trays, or enclosed spaces.
-
Robust & Reliable: EPR insulation provides excellent thermal endurance, moisture resistance, and long-term electrical stability at a continuous temperature of 90°C, ensuring dependable performance.
-
Cost-Effective Solution: An ideal choice for general control and power applications where the superior fire safety of LSHF materials is required, but the additional mechanical protection of armor is not necessary.
