Product Overview
The CKEPF80/SC is a specialized Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Flame Retardant marine control cable designed for applications that demand superior fire safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and ultimate installation adaptability. It features EPR insulation, a Thermoplastic Polyolefin (SHF1) 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, and shielded core, perfect for final integration into systems requiring custom external jacketing, conduits, or dedicated protection. It is fully compliant with IEC 60092 standards for critical marine and industrial control circuits.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Enhanced Fire Safety (LSHF/SC Grade): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) construction minimizes toxic and corrosive fume emission, enhancing evacuation safety in confined spaces. Certified for high Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) to inhibit flame spread.
-
Flexible Armor with EMI/RFI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) provides excellent mechanical protection while ensuring high flexibility for routing in complex paths. It also acts as an effective shield against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) for signal integrity.
-
Maximum Integration & Customization Flexibility: The absence of an outer sheath (Code 0) offers unparalleled adaptability for system integrators, panel builders, and installers. It allows for the application of a site-specific final over-sheath, conduit system, or additional fireproofing layer tailored to the exact environmental and safety requirements of the final installation.
-
Reliable Core Construction: The combination of EPR insulation (90°C rating) and an SHF1 inner sheath ensures thermal stability, moisture resistance, and protection for the cable core prior to final assembly.
