Product Overview
The CKEPF90/SC is a heavy-duty Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Flame Retardant marine control cable designed for critical power, lighting, and control circuits where maximum mechanical protection and installation flexibility are required. It features EPR insulation, a Thermoplastic Polyolefin (SHF1) inner sheath, and robust galvanized steel wire braid armor. Supplied without an outer sheath (Code 0), this SC-grade cable offers a high-strength, safety-compliant core that is ideal for integration into systems requiring custom external jacketing, conduits, or additional fireproofing, while fully adhering to IEC 60092 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Enhanced Fire Safety (LSHF/SC Grade): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties reduce toxic and corrosive gas emissions, improving safety during evacuation. Certified for high Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) to resist flame spread.
-
Superior Mechanical Core Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (Code 9) provides maximum resistance against impact, crushing, and mechanical stress, making it suitable for the most demanding and exposed environments.
-
Customizable Installation: The absence of an outer sheath (Code 0) provides ultimate flexibility for system integrators and installers to apply a final protective jacket, conduit system, or fireproof layer that is specifically tailored to the final installation environment and safety requirements.
-
Reliable Internal Construction: The combination of EPR insulation and an SHF1 inner sheath ensures excellent thermal stability (90°C) and internal protection against moisture and environmental factors before final integration.
