Applications
These S2 or S2/S6 RFOU(i) 250V NEK606 Water Blocked Offshore Marine cables are partially water blocked, flame retardant, low smoke, halogen free and mud resistant, used for instrumentation, communication, control and alarm systems.Offshore instrumentation 250 V collectively screened cable. Heavy duty, mud resistant, instrumentation cables for Offshore applications. Halogen free, flame and fire non propa-gator. Excellent resistance to oils, abrasion, petrochemical fluids, moisture and salt water. Based on IEC 60092-376 and NEK TS 606. These cables offer excellent performance in the harsh environments encountered offshore. Suitable for fixed installations in vessels and oil rigs.Standards

Construction
Conductors: Circular tinned annealed stranded copper wire to IEC 60228 class 2.Insulation: Halogen free EPR compound.
Twinning: Colour coded cores twisted together.
Filler: Water blocking fillers, if required.
Collective Shielding: Pairs/triples are layed up and collectively screened by copper backed polyester tape in contact with a stranded tinned copper drain wire. Pairs/triples are numbered with numbered tape or by numbers printed directly on the insulated conductors.
Bedding: Halogen free compound, PETP wrapping tape will be applied over the bedding, if required.
Armour: Tinned copper wire braid, PETP wrapping tape will be applied over the braiding, if required.
Water Blocking Elements: Water blocking tape and strings for providing longitudinal water tightness.
Inner Sheath: Halogen free thermosetting compound, SHF2 (for TYPE S2). Halogen free MUD resistant thermosetting compound, SHF MUD (for TYPE S2/S6), coloured grey (blue for intrinsically safe).
Outer Sheath: Polyurethane for providing transversal water tightness, PE is optional,but can not meet low smoke standard.
