Medium voltage cables
R&M Electrical Group are pleased to be appointed as the UK’s sole stockist of the TKF Marine Cables. TKF has a heritage of being a key European manufacturer with an 80 year history of cable production. From their site in Haaksbergen, Holland it is the largest European production facility with multi-discipline cable production.
The ranges of MarineLine, MarineLine+, MarineFlex, MarinePower, MarineCom and MarineSignal represent highly engineered designs in full compliance with International Standards, but with the essence on ‘design’ offering reduced dimensions and weight, for tray loading optimisation and weight savings!
One significant key feature of all braided cables is that they have Tinned Copper braid to enhance the corrosion resistance in such harsh environments, unlike many other manufacturers.
For ease of installation, we have the MarineFlex range which has Class 5 (multi-stranded conductors) allowing for such tighter radii and thus reducing space.
The Fire resistant types are designed and manufactured to the latest revisions of IEC 60331 standard(s) now includingFire and Mechanical shock at the highest test temperature of 830°C (-0/+40) with the cable tested in a ‘stressed’ position. Many other manufacturers adopting the earlier standard (IEC 60331-21) tested in an ‘un-stressed’ formation only at 750°C and without mechanical shocks during the tests.

As you would expect, TKF hold all major type approvals and certificates (copies available on request) by Det Norsk Veritas (DNV), Lloyds Register of Shipping (LRS), American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and Bureau Veritas (BV) & RMRS.
