Product Information

Specification

About:

• This is a specialized cable used in marine and offshore environments. It features a tinned copper conductor, EPR insulation, and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) sheath. Designed for safety, it minimizes smoke and toxic gas emissions during a fire.

Also Known As:

• Marine EPR Cable
• Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Marine Cable
• SW4 Offshore Cable

Application:

• Unarmoured cables, for use where the mechanical protection is not required, for fixed wiring in ships and in mobile and fixed offshore units (e.g. drilling rigs, oil platforms, etc.).

Standard:

• Standard sheath colours 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 conductor. Stranded to BS EN 60228 Class 2
• Insulation: EPR complying with BS7655 GP4
• Core Identification: The cores will be identified by either colours or numbers
• Outer Sheath: LSZH to BSS7655 section 2.6 Type SW4. Enhanced oil resistance, low smoke zero halogen, minimum tear resistance
• Identification: Legend will include manufacturers name, voltage, BS6883, number of cores and c.s.a., cable sheath class (e.g. SW4)
• Temperature Rating: 90°C maximum conductor operating temperature
• Voltage Rating: 600/1000 V
* denotes number of cores.

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.
Mechanical Protection: Armored version provides enhanced 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.
