NEK606 Water Blocked Offshore & Marine Cables
Water Blocked P7 or P7/P14 BFOU 6/10kV

Applications

• These P7 or P7/P14 BFOU 6/10kV NEK606 Water Blocked Offshore & Marine cables are partially water blocked, fire resistant, flame retardant, low smoke, halogen free and mud resistant, used for fixed installation for medium voltage power.

Standards

Construction

• l Conductors: Circular tinned annealed stranded copper to IEC 60228 class 2.
  l Conductor Screen: Semi conducting material.
  l Insulation: Mica tape + Halogen free EPR.
  l Insulation Screen: Semi conducting material and tinned copper wire braid.
  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 P7), or halogen free mud resistant thermosetting compound, SHF MUD (for TYPE P7/P14), coloured red.
  l Outer Sheath: Polyurethane for providing transversal water tightness, PE is optional,but can not meet low smoke standard.
