Product Information

Specification

About:

• This cable is designed for marine and offshore environments, used primarily for instrumentation purposes. It features tinned copper conductors, EPR insulation, aluminum foil shielding, armor braid, and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) sheath. It ensures high performance and safety by minimizing smoke and toxic gas emissions during a fire.

Also Known As:

• Marine Instrumentation Cable
• LSZH Instrumentation Cable
• Shielded EPR Instrumentation Cable

Application:

• Armoured control and instrumentation cables for fixed wiring on ships and in mobile offshore units (e.g. drilling rigs, oil platforms, etc.). For use in regularly occupied areas such as accommodation facilities, control rooms and computer suites. Any application where life may be endangered by smoke and noxious fumes and where vital, sensitive equipment may be damaged by acid forming gases.

Standard:

• Standard sheath colours are grey, blue or black. Other colours available on request
• Oxygen index >32%. Temperature index 250°C, HCL emission <0.5% of weight of compound at 800°C
• Flame retardant to IEC 60332-3-22 Category A (reduced propagation)

Construction:

• In accordance with BS6883
• Conductor: Tinned annealed copper. Stranded Class 2 or flexible Class 5 to BS EN 60228
• Insulation: EPR complying with BS7655 GP4
• Core Identification: Black and white pairs. Triples - black, white and red. Quads - black, white, red, blue
• Screening: Aluminium mylar tape wrapped round each pair/triple/quad in contact with tinned copper drain wire
• Inner Sheath: Will be the same material as the outer sheath based on the requirements of BS7655 Section 2.6 Type SW4 with improved characteristics. Enhanced oil resistance, low smoke zero halogen, minimum tear resistance
• Armour: Galvanised steel wire braid to BS EN 10257-1
• Outer Sheath: As inner sheath. Identification legend will include manufacturers name, voltage, BS6883, number of pairs/triples and c.s.a., cable sheath class (e.g. SW4), IEC 60332 and UK00A code where applicable
• Temperature Rating: 90°C maximum conductor operating temperature
• Voltage Rating: 150/250 V

Features:

• Fire Resistant: Ensures safety in case of fire by limiting flame spread and smoke emission.
• Halogen-Free: Reduces the release of toxic and corrosive gases when exposed to fire.
Shielded: Provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring accurate data transmission.
• Mechanical Protection: Armored braid enhances durability and resistance to mechanical damage.
• Chemical Resistance: Resistant to oils, chemicals, and solvents typically found in marine environments.
• Flexibility: Suitable for installations requiring tight bends and flexibility.
• UV and Ozone Resistant: Suitable for outdoor and harsh environmental conditions.
