Marine Fire-Resistant Armoured Instrumentation Cable XOxZ1-K (AS+) / XOxTCuZ1-K (AS+) – IEC 60092-376 LSZH Shipboard Cable
Product Overview
The XOxZ1-K (AS+) / XOxTCuZ1-K (AS+) Marine Cable is a low smoke, halogen-free (LSZH), armoured fire-resistant instrumentation and telecommunication cable specifically engineered for demanding marine and offshore environments. Designed in accordance with IEC 60092-376, this cable ensures reliable signal transmission and system integrity even under fire conditions.
It is widely used across shipbuilding, offshore platforms, and marine infrastructure, where safety, durability, and operational continuity are critical.
Key Features and Advantages
1. Fire Safety & LSZH Performance
This cable is designed to maintain functionality and minimize hazards during fire incidents:
Fire-resistant design ensures continued circuit integrity in emergency conditions
Halogen-free construction eliminates toxic and corrosive gas emissions
Low smoke emission improves visibility and evacuation safety (light transmittance >60%)
Complies with:
IEC 60332-1 (flame propagation)
IEC 60332-3-22 (fire propagation)
IEC 60754 (halogen-free, low corrosivity)
IEC 61034 (low smoke)
This makes it ideal for life safety systems, alarm circuits, and communication networks onboard vessels.
2. Electrical Performance
Rated voltage: 150/250 V (instrumentation applications)
Suitable for:
Signal transmission
Control systems
Data and communication circuits
The cable ensures stable performance in low-voltage instrumentation and telecom systems.
3. Robust Mechanical & Environmental Durability
Built for harsh maritime environments, the cable offers:
Impact resistance: AG3 (high severity)
Minimum bending radius:
4× cable diameter (>25 mm)
6× cable diameter (≤25 mm)
Water resistance: AD6 (wave exposure)
UV, oil, and chemical resistance for long-term outdoor and offshore use
These properties ensure excellent durability in saltwater, vibration, and extreme weather conditions.
4. Thermal Performance
Maximum conductor temperature: 90°C
Short-circuit temperature: 250°C (max. 5 seconds)
Minimum service temperature: -40°C
Minimum installation temperature: -15°C
This wide thermal range enables reliable operation in both cold offshore climates and high-temperature engine room environments.
Cable Construction
The XOxZ1-K (AS+) / XOxTCuZ1-K (AS+) cable is engineered with a robust multilayer structure:
