What makes a cable “Marine Grade” compared to standard industrial cables?

Marine cables must survive the harshest environments on earth. Key features include:

Tinned Copper Conductors: Mandatory to prevent “black plague” corrosion caused by salty, humid sea air.

Flame Retardancy: Specifically tested to ensure fire does not travel along cable runs in the confined spaces of a ship.

Oil & Chemical Resistance: Jackets must withstand hydraulic fluids, fuels, and drilling muds (Mud-Resistant versions).
