Product Overview
The CKEF90/SA is a heavy-duty marine control cable designed for applications where robust mechanical protection and installation flexibility are paramount. It features EPR insulation, an oil-resistant PCP inner sheath, and a high-strength galvanized steel wire braid armor. Supplied without an outer sheath (Code 0), this SA flame-retardant cable is engineered for integration into control systems requiring custom conduit, jacketing, or protection, making it a versatile and durable solution for critical power, lighting, and control circuits on marine vessels, offshore platforms, and in demanding industrial environments in compliance with IEC 60092 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Superior Mechanical & Crush Resistance: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (Code 9) provides maximum defense against impact, crushing, and physical damage in the toughest installation conditions.
-
Oil & Chemical Resistant Inner Core: The PCP inner sheath (Code F) protects the cable core from oils, chemicals, and moisture, ensuring internal integrity before the cable is integrated into its final protective system.
-
Customizable Final Protection: Supplied without an outer sheath, this cable offers exceptional flexibility for system designers and installers to apply a site-specific final jacket, conduit, or fireproofing layer tailored to the exact environmental and safety requirements.
-
Certified Flame Retardant: Rated for SA-grade Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) for bunched installations, ensuring it contributes to a higher level of fire safety.
