BS 6883&BS 7917 Offshore & Marine Cables

BS 6883&BS 7917 Offshore & Marine Cables Application

Armored flexible power cable is suitable for installation in mechanical insurance requirements of a ship or marine. A Series of common size cable can be used in control and power equipment. Such cables also applies to people and equipment in case of a fire on shore.

Unarmored flexible cable has excellent flexibility and small diameter so that the routing and installation as easy as possible. The use of halogen mixture can ensure safety. Soft non-armored power cables and restricted areas on the ship routing very satisfactory.
