18 AWG 4P Stranded TC Shield Foil Braid Halogen-Free GAALSHIP RFOU(c) Offshore Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 18 AWG 4P Stranded TC Shield Foil Braid Halogen-Free GAALSHIP RFOU(c) Offshore Cable:100 Amps

About:

The "18 AWG 4P Stranded TC Shield Foil Braid Halogen-Free GAALSHIP RFOU(c) Offshore Cable" is designed for marine and offshore environments, featuring stranded conductors with tin-coated copper for corrosion resistance. It is halogen-free, ensuring low toxicity in fire situations, and includes foil and braid shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference. This cable is suitable for critical safety systems where fire resistance and reliability are essential.

Also Known As:

• GAALSHIP RFOU(c) Cable
• Fire-Resistant Offshore Cable
• Halogen-Free Marine Cable
• EMC-Protected Offshore Cable

Application:

• Fixed Wiring in Ships: Used extensively for wiring systems within ships where durability and resistance to environmental factors like moisture and salt are crucial.
• Safety and Emergency Systems: Ideal for safety-related applications, such as fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, and other critical circuit integrity needs during a fire.
• Communication Systems: Employed in communication equipment wiring where shielding from electromagnetic interference is necessary to ensure clear signals.
• Control Systems on Oil Rigs: Used in the control systems of offshore platforms and oil rigs, where robust and fire-resistant cabling is essential for operational safety and reliability.
• Power Distribution: Suitable for power distribution lines within marine and offshore installations, providing secure and reliable electrical connectivity.
