Marine & Shipboard Cables

UKB Electronics manufactures high-performance Shipboard & Marine Cables designed to operate reliably in the confined and challenging environments of ships and offshore platforms. Our cables are designed to meet stringent marine and international specifications, including IEC 60092, ensuring dependable performance and safety for mission-critical applications across commercial shipping and offshore industries.

Product Anatomy
Shipboard and marine cables are engineered to be lightweight, compact, and exceptionally safe. They are constructed with tinned copper conductors for superior corrosion resistance in saline and humid environments. The insulation and sheathing typically use advanced Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) and fire-retardant compounds to enhance safety in enclosed spaces aboard vessels. Many designs also incorporate a metallic braid for electromagnetic screening, improved mechanical protection, and added mechanical strength.

Key Features and customization Options

  • Standards Compliance: Manufactured to IEC 60092 and other marine standards.
  • Mission-Critical Fire Safety: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), flame-retardant, and fire-resistant options available.
  • Lightweight & Compact: Optimized design to save critical space and weight on vessels.
  • Extreme Durability: High resistance to oil, chemicals, moisture, and salt corrosion.
  • Applications: Used for propulsion systems, navigation, communications, weapon systems, and onboard power circuits.
