Control Cable+Individual Shield - FIRSt

XLPE INSULATED INDIVIDUAL CORE SHIELDED FIRE-RESISTANT MARINE CABLE FOR CONTROL SYSTEM 150/250V 90℃

The XLPE insulated individual core shielded fire-resistant marine cable is engineered to maintain absolute signal integrity in the most demanding marine and offshore environments. By utilizing a specialized individual core shield design featuring tinned copper wire braiding, this cable effectively neutralizes external electromagnetic interference. This ensures that critical control signals remain precise and stable, avoiding system errors that could compromise operational safety. The robust construction provides a reassuringly solid feel while maintaining enough flexibility to navigate the complex, narrow wiring spaces typical of shipboard installations. Designed for maximum reliability, it serves as the central nervous system for critical maritime infrastructure.

Cable Construction & Shielding Technology

The architecture of this marine control cable reflects a rigorous commitment to durability and mechanical protection. Beneath the smooth, resilient outer sheath lies a meticulously arranged core structure. The stranded copper wire conductors offer excellent conductivity, wrapped in a specialized mica/glass tape that acts as a formidable fire barrier. The cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation provides superior electrical properties and thermal stability. For mechanical defense, the cable features an armor layer of either galvanized steel wire or tinned copper wire braiding. This metallic shield not only gives the cable a substantial, heavy-duty physical presence but also protects against impacts and abrasions while allowing for a practical bending radius during installation.

Standards Applied & Quality Control

Compliance with international maritime and electrical standards is non-negotiable for offshore safety. This cable undergoes a battery of stringent factory tests to ensure it meets and exceeds IEC 60092 and IEC 60331 specifications. Every meter of the cable is subjected to rigorous assessments for fire resistance, flame retardance, and structural integrity before it leaves the facility. The low smoke and halogen-free (LSZH) properties are verified through precise toxicity and smoke density evaluations, ensuring that in the event of a thermal incident, the cable will not release harmful gases, thereby protecting personnel and sensitive electronic equipment.

Cores Identification

When wiring complex control systems, clear and immediate core identification is crucial for efficient installation and maintenance. The standard configuration features crisp, highly visible white numbering printed directly onto a solid black core background. This high-contrast labeling ensures that technicians can quickly and accurately map connections even in the dimly lit environments often found in ship hulls or offshore platforms. Beyond the standard black-and-white numbering, we offer tailored identification solutions. If your specific project requires color-coded cores or alternative alphanumeric printing to align with existing schematic diagrams, these modifications can be implemented precisely upon request.

Outer Sheath Color

The exterior jacket of the cable serves as the first line of defense against harsh environmental elements, and its visual appearance can be adapted to suit specific project protocols. The standard outer sheath is manufactured in a deep, uniform black, providing excellent natural UV resistance and a professional finish that blends seamlessly into industrial settings. The surface texture is engineered to be smooth yet tough, resisting abrasions and chemical exposure. Should your installation require distinct color-coding for different voltage levels, control zones, or safety systems, custom sheath colors can be formulated. This flexibility aids in rapid visual inspections and system troubleshooting.

Main Characteristics & Environmental Tolerance

The operational resilience of this cable is defined by its exceptional environmental tolerance and safety profile. Designed to function flawlessly across a broad temperature spectrum, it maintains optimal performance from freezing conditions as low as -15℃ (and up to -60℃ for specific cold-resistant variants) up to a continuous operating temperature of +90℃. The robust insulation and shielding materials are formulated to withstand extreme thermal fluctuations without degrading. Furthermore, the cable's inherent low-smoke, halogen-free (LSZH) composition is a critical safety feature. With a completed cable smoke density of ≥60%, it guarantees clear visibility for evacuation and minimizes toxic exposure during emergencies.

Application Scenarios & Industry Adaptability

Engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of the maritime and petrochemical sectors, this cable is the definitive choice for control systems on shipboards and offshore architectural structures. These environments are characterized by constant vibration, exposure to corrosive salt spray, and the persistent threat of mechanical stress. The cable's specialized individual core shielding ensures that sensitive control signals governing navigation, propulsion, and safety mechanisms remain entirely free from electromagnetic disruption. Whether deployed in the engine room of a commercial vessel, the control room of an offshore oil rig, or a coastal petrochemical refinery, this cable delivers unwavering reliability.

The cable is mainly intended for the control system of shipboard and offshore buildings, as well as other related industries.
