Product Overview
The CKEPF96/SC is a robust Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Flame Retardant marine control cable engineered for demanding applications requiring superior mechanical protection and enhanced fire safety. It features EPR insulation, an inner and outer sheath of Thermoplastic Polyolefin (SHF1), and heavy-duty galvanized steel wire braid armor. This double-sheathed, armored construction provides exceptional resistance to impact, crushing, and environmental factors, while its LSHF properties ensure safety in confined spaces. It is fully compliant with IEC 60092 standards for critical power, lighting, and control systems on vessels, offshore platforms, and in heavy industry.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Enhanced Fire Safety (LSHF/SC Grade): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties minimize toxic/corrosive fumes and smoke opacity during a fire. Certified for high Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) to inhibit flame propagation.
-
Maximum Mechanical Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (Code 9) provides the highest level of defense against mechanical impact, crushing forces, and rodent damage, ideal for exposed or high-risk areas.
-
Dual-Layer Environmental Sealing: The double-layer SHF1 sheath system (Inner PF & Outer 6) offers superior protection against moisture, oils, abrasion, and general environmental degradation, ensuring long-term cable integrity.
-
Reliable & Durable Performance: EPR insulation guarantees excellent thermal stability and electrical performance at a continuous temperature of 90°C, even within the protected armored core.
