5G 35mm2 RFOU Cable: Premium Marine Power Cable
Overview: The TEBAOFLEX 0.6/1kV 5G 35mm2 RFOU cable is a premium multi-core power and lighting cable designed specifically for fixed installations on ships and offshore units. Featuring 5 cores (including a green/yellow earth core), it offers maximum safety in hazardous marine environments.
Key Specifications for 5G 35mm²:
- Conductor: Class 5 flexible tinned copper (5 cores x 35 sqmm).
- Insulation & Sheath: Halogen-free EPR insulation with an EVA / SHF2 outer sheath.
- Armour: Tinned Copper Wire Braid (TCWB) for mechanical protection and EMI shielding.
- Safety: Flame-retardant (IEC 60332-3-22), Halogen-free, Low smoke (LSZH).
- Resistance: Oil and Mud resistant according to NEK 606.
Premium 0.6/1kV 5G 35mm2 RFOU Cable for Offshore Power & Lighting
When wiring critical heavy-duty power distribution panels and complex lighting circuits on marine vessels, relying on standard wiring is not an option. The TEBAOFLEX 5G 35mm2 RFOU cable is a highly specialized low-voltage (0.6/1kV) marine cable. The “5G” designation indicates five cores, including a dedicated Green/Yellow earth core, providing a complete 3-phase, neutral, and ground solution in a single, robust cable jacket. This makes it an exceptionally efficient choice for reducing installation time on crowded shipboards.
Why Choose Our 5-Core 35mm² Marine Power Cable?
As a certified direct-from-factory manufacturer, TEBAOFLEX builds the 5G 35mm2 RFOU cable to survive the harshest saltwater environments. This cable features a Tinned Copper Wire Braid (TCWB) which serves a dual purpose: it provides excellent mechanical armor against physical impacts during installation and acts as an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield. This ensures that heavy power loads do not disrupt nearby sensitive navigational or communication equipment.
Furthermore, the outer sheath is highly resistant to corrosive drilling muds and aviation fuels, meeting the strict NEK 606 standards. For further reading on how harsh offshore environments impact infrastructural integrity, you can explore the technical requirements of offshore drilling platforms.
Halogen-Free and Flame Retardant Excellence
Safety in enclosed maritime spaces is our highest priority. In the event of a fire, standard PVC cables emit thick black smoke and toxic chlorine gas. Our 5G 35mm2 RFOU cable is constructed entirely of Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) materials. The EPR insulation and SHF2 (EVA) outer sheath guarantee that light transmittance remains high (IEC 61034) and toxic gas emissions are eliminated (IEC 60754), ensuring safe evacuation routes for the crew.
Detailed Construction of the 5G 35mm² Specification
The internal architecture of this specific dimension ensures maximum conductivity and physical resilience:
- Conductors: 5 cores of 35mm² stranded tinned annealed copper (Class 5 flexible, IEC 60228). The tin coating prevents sea-salt oxidation.
- Core Identification: Off-white, Black, Red, Blue, and Green/Yellow (Earth).
- Insulation: High-grade Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) offering excellent dielectric strength.
- Inner Covering: Flame retardant, halogen-free thermoset compound (SHF1).
- Armour / Shield: Tinned Copper Wire Braid (TCWB).
- Outer Sheath: Heavy-duty Black SHF2 thermoset compound, exceptionally oil, mud, and weather-resistant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why use a 5-core (5G) cable instead of individual single-core cables?
Using a single 5G 35mm2 RFOU cable drastically reduces installation time and minimizes the required space on cable trays compared to running five separate 1C x 35mm² cables. It also inherently manages the electromagnetic fields better by keeping all phases, neutral, and ground tightly bundled under one metallic shield.
2. Can this cable be submersed in water?
While the RFOU cable is highly resistant to moisture, sea spray, and muddy environments on offshore rigs, it is primarily designed for fixed dry or damp installations, not for permanent deep-water submersion (unlike our NTSCGEWOEU-W series).
3. Can we order customized lengths of this exact specification?
Absolutely. TEBAOFLEX is a direct cable factory. We supply global shipyards and offshore contractors with bulk orders and custom cut-to-length services. To request a detailed datasheet or factory-direct pricing for your project, please contact our marine sales team today.
