Marine cable is a type of electrical wire and cable used for power, lighting, and general control on various vessels, including those on rivers and seas, and on offshore structures such as oil platforms. It comes in a variety of models, and when selecting a marine cable, it's important to consider the following three factors:
1. The application of the marine cable—for power, lighting, and radio communications, among others.
2. The location where the marine cable will be laid—for example, dry, humid, low-temperature conditions, and whether shielding is required.
3. The operating conditions on board—for example, fixed installation, conduit installation, or mobile installation.
