NEK606 Water Blocked Offshore & Marine Cables
Water Blocked P5 or P5/P12 BFOU 0.6/1KV

Applications

• These P5 or P5/P12 BFOU 0.6/1KV NEK606 Water Blocked Offshore & Marine cables are fire resistant, flame retardant, low smoke,halogen free and mud resistant, used for control, power and lighting systems.

Standards

• IEC 60092-353	IEC 60092-351
  IEC 60092-359	IEC 60332-1
  IEC 60332-3-22	IEC 60754-1,2
  IEC 61034-1,2	NEK 606:2004
  VG 95218 part 29

Construction

• l Conductors: Tinned annealed stranded compacted copper to IEC 60228 class 2.
  l Insulation: Mica tape + Halogen free EPR/Mica tape + XLPE.
  l Filler: Water blocking fillers, if required.
  l Bedding: Halogen free compound, PETP wrapping tape will be applied over the bedding, if required.
  l Armour: Tinned copper wire braid, PETP wrapping tape will be applied over the braiding, if required.
  l Water Blocking Elements: Water blocking tape and strings for providing longitudinal water tightness.
  l Inner Sheath: Halogen free thermosetting compound, SHF2 (for TYPE P5). Halogen free, mud resistant thermosetting compound, SHF MUD (for TYPE P5/P12), coloured black.
  l Outer Sheath: Polyurethane for providing transversal water tightness, PE is optional,but can not meet low smoke standard.
