Product Overview
The CKEF80/SA is a specialized flame-retardant marine control cable engineered for applications demanding superior flexibility, electromagnetic shielding, and installation adaptability. Featuring EPR insulation, an oil-resistant PCP inner sheath, and a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, this cable is supplied without an outer sheath (Code 0). This SA-grade configuration provides a robust and versatile core, ideal for system integrators and panel builders who require a cable that can be fitted into custom conduits or have a specific final over-jacket applied on-site, ensuring compliance with IEC 60092 standards for critical marine and industrial control systems.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Flexible Armor with EMI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) offers excellent mechanical protection while ensuring high flexibility for easy routing in tight spaces. It also provides effective shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) for sensitive control signals.
-
Oil-Resistant & Protected Core: The PCP inner sheath (Code F) safeguards the cable core against oils, chemicals, and moisture, ensuring internal integrity prior to final installation or the application of an external protective layer.
-
Maximum Customization & Integration Flexibility: Supplied without an outer sheath, this cable is designed for ultimate adaptability, allowing for the installation of a custom external jacket, conduit system, or additional fireproofing tailored to the precise environmental and safety requirements of the final application.
-
Certified Flame Retardant Safety: Rated for SA-grade Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) for performance in bunched installations, contributing to enhanced fire safety.
