Shipboard Control Cable

This shipboard control cable is designed for control, instrumentation and signal circuits on ships and offshore units. It uses tinned copper conductor for marine corrosion resistance, with XLPE or EPR insulation and optional copper screen, steel wire armor or steel tape armor. Suitable for shipbuilding, offshore platforms, engine rooms, deck machinery and marine electrical systems.

Overview

Shipboard Control Cable is a marine-grade control and instrumentation cable built for salt-air, humidity, vibration and continuous electrical service on board vessels and offshore installations. It is used to connect control panels, distribution boards, instruments, sensors, valves, pumps, winches and deck machinery where stable signal transmission and mechanical protection are required.

Anhui Tiankang manufactures shipboard control cables according to marine cable application requirements, with conductor, insulation, screening, armor and sheath options for different installation areas. Certification support is available for major classification society projects; please confirm the required certificate scope before order placement.

Construction

• Conductor: tinned annealed copper, Class 2 or Class 5 stranding available

• Insulation: XLPE or EPR, heat-resistant and suitable for marine electrical systems

• Cores: multi-core control cable, common examples include 2x1.5mm2, 4x1.5mm2, 7x2.5mm2, 12x1.0mm2, 19x1.5mm2 and customized core counts

• Screen: optional copper wire braid or aluminum/polyester tape with drain wire

• Armor: optional galvanized steel wire armor or steel tape armor for mechanical protection

• Sheath: LSZH, PVC or special oil-resistant material depending on installation area

• Voltage: commonly 150/250V for control and instrumentation circuits; other voltage levels can be checked according to project design

Standards

• IEC 60092-376: electrical installations in ships, control and instrumentation cables with rated voltage 150/250V

• IEC 60092 series: general marine cable construction and testing requirements

• IEC 60332-3: flame retardant performance for bunched cables

• IEC 61034: low smoke emission

• IEC 60754: halogen acid gas emission

• Project-specific standards: NEK 606, EN, GB/T or classification society requirements where specified

Certifications

Anhui Tiankang cable products are supported by certifications and testing experience related to CCS, DNV, ABS, LR, BV and RINA marine projects, with CE and RoHS documentation available for applicable cable types.
