Product Overview
The CJPFP/NC is a specialized, unarmored fire resistant (FR) marine power cable, designed for critical circuit integrity in protected installations where superior flexibility and reduced weight are essential. Its core technology features a Mica Glass Tape + XLPE composite insulation system, certified to IEC 60331 to ensure continued operation during a fire. Encased in a Halogen-Free (LSZH) inner sheath and equipped with a collective copper screen, this cable provides the ultimate safety combination: fire survival capability, low smoke and zero halogen emission, and EMI protection, all in a lightweight and easy-to-install design for cable trays, conduits, and enclosed spaces.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance (IEC 60331): Ensures vital emergency circuits (e.g., lighting, alarms, communications) remain operational for a specified duration under direct flame exposure, which is critical for life safety and evacuation.
-
Fire-Survival Core Construction: The Mica Glass Tape layer over XLPE insulation forms a robust, heat-resistant barrier that maintains electrical insulation at extreme temperatures, preventing circuit failure during a fire event.
-
Superior Fire Safety (LSZH): Complies with IEC 60754 (Halogen Free) and IEC 61034 (Low Smoke), dramatically reducing the emission of corrosive/toxic gases and smoke density to facilitate safer evacuation and protect sensitive equipment.
-
Lightweight & Highly Flexible: The unarmored (no metallic armor) construction offers excellent flexibility, ease of handling, and reduced overall weight, making it ideal for installation in cable trays, ladders, and conduits.
-
Essential EMI Shielding: The integrated collective copper screen protects against electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal integrity for power and sensitive control circuits in electrically noisy environments.
