Product Overview
The CKEF82/SA is a versatile flame-retardant marine control cable engineered for applications that require an optimal balance of mechanical protection, flexibility, and environmental resistance. It combines EPR insulation, an oil-resistant PCP inner sheath, a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a durable PVC outer sheath. This SA-grade cable is designed for reliable power, lighting, and control circuits, offering superior installability and protection against EMI, oils, and abrasion for use on ships, offshore platforms, and in demanding industrial settings, in compliance with IEC 60092 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Flexible Armor with EMI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) provides robust mechanical protection while maintaining excellent flexibility for routing in confined spaces. It also acts as an effective shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI) for signal clarity.
-
Robust Environmental & Chemical Protection: The inner PCP sheath (Code F) offers superior resistance to oils and chemicals, while the outer PVC sheath (Code 2) provides protection against abrasion, sunlight, and general weathering.
-
Flame Retardant Safety: Certified for SA-grade Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) in bunched installations, helping to inhibit the spread of fire.
-
Superior Installability & Durability: This cable is significantly more flexible and easier to install than steel-armored alternatives. EPR insulation ensures reliable thermal performance at a continuous 90°C.
