Product Overview
The CKEPF86/SC is a flexible and durable Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Flame Retardant marine control cable engineered for applications requiring excellent mechanical protection, enhanced safety, and electromagnetic shielding. It features EPR insulation, a double layer of Thermoplastic Polyolefin (SHF1) sheath, and a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor. This construction provides superior flexibility for easier installation, effective EMI/RFI shielding, and the critical fire safety benefits of low smoke and zero halogen emission, ensuring full compliance with IEC 60092 standards for marine and industrial control systems.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Enhanced Fire Safety (LSHF/SC Grade): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties minimize the emission of toxic, corrosive fumes and reduce smoke density, crucial for safety in enclosed spaces. Complies with stringent Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) standards.
-
Flexible Armor with EMI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) offers robust mechanical protection while maintaining high flexibility, simplifying installation in tight spaces. It also serves as an effective shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI), protecting sensitive control signals.
-
Dual-Layer Environmental Protection: The double-layer SHF1 sheath (Inner PF & Outer 6) provides excellent defense against moisture, oils, abrasion, and general environmental wear, ensuring long-term reliability and cable integrity.
-
Superior Installability & Durability: This cable is significantly more flexible and easier to handle than steel-armored alternatives, reducing installation time and effort. The combination of EPR insulation and durable sheathing ensures reliable performance at a continuous 90°C.
