Cable excellence engineered through quality

Armada™ Marine Cables for

Commercial Shipbuilding and Offshore Platforms

The range of Armada Cables have been designed

and manufactured with Quality, Safety, Security
and Reliability at their core. Our design engineers
ensure that the materials used are optimised for the
demands placed on cables in marine engineering and
shipbuilding. Each project has its own special require-
ments and our FireFighter™ range of LSZH compounds
extends from oil resistant SHF-1 & SHF-2, low & high
temperature environment, UV, Fire Resistant & Flame
Retardant all the way to our specially designed FFxT
i-XL-MUD compound which is fully tested to meet the
requirements of MUD resistance set out in NEK606.

The range of Data, LAN, Bus & Coaxial copper cables

are stocked in depth in conjunction with fully certified
Fibre Optic Cables meaning shipbuilders, rig operators
& installation contractors can take advantage of our
next day delivery service. Getting the right cable to
the right place at the right time is our job and we take
pride in it, that goes for assessing the right manufac-
turing partner, collaborating with them on third party
testing and approval of materials through to establish-
ing the optimum cable stock levels to give an efficient
service to our customers. Our cables are installed in
some of the most demanding environments in the
world and we know the cost and time that it takes to
Applications
install cables far outweighs the cost of the cable itself,
and once commissioned that cable needs to keep Communications and LAN cable
working at peak performance during its life cycle, we Bus Cables
can only achieve this through careful quality control RS232, RS422 and TIA-485 Data Cable
and continual assessment of material performance Fire resistant Cable
and cable construction methods backed up by third
Fibre Optic Cable
party testing and verification, when we are happy that
we’ve done this we sleep better. Coaxial Cable

Flame temperature : Determined by the specified volume of propane and air.

Test duration : Part 21: Category A F/R only for special applications
Part 22: Category A (7 l flammable material/m): 40min
Part23:CategoryB (3.5 l flammablematerial/m): 40 min
Part24:CategoryC (1.5 l flammablematerial/m): 20 min
Part 25: Category D (0.5 l flammable material/m): 20 min

Compliance criteria : Fire damage to the cable may be visible for a maximum
of 2.5 m from the bottom of the burner to the top.
