Shielded Marine Control Cable
A low-transfer-impedance screen keeps switching noise out of control and alarm circuits where drives, contactors and radar share the same cable route.
Construction and performance
A shielded control cable is specified when the control circuit shares a route with equipment that switches fast. The screen gives induced noise a low-impedance path to earth instead of letting it couple into the control signal. Copper braid is used where mechanical robustness and low transfer impedance matter, aluminium foil with a drain wire where continuous coverage at high frequency matters more than flex life. IEC 60092-375 fixes the construction and identification requirements for shipboard control cable.
Construction
- Tinned copper conductor, class 2 or 5
- XLPE or EPR insulation
- Cores twisted in layers with fillers
- Collective tinned-copper braid screen, ≥ 85% coverage
- Optional individual or pair screens with drain wire
- SHF1, SHF2 or LSZH sheath
Applications
- Engine-room control circuits
- Bridge navigation and alarm systems
- Instrumentation and telemetry loops
- Automation and interlocking circuits

What to confirm before ordering
Collective or individual screen?
Where should the screen be earthed?
Does the screen reduce the current rating?
