CJPJP85/NC Fire Resistant Marine Power Cable with Full SHF2 Sheathing – Mica/XLPE Insulated, Copper Armored & Shielded (0.6/1kV IEC 60331)

Product Overview

The CJPJP85/NC is a premium-grade, double-sheathed fire resistant cable engineered for the most critical and demanding safety circuits where circuit integrity during fire must be coupled with exceptional long-term sheath durability. It features the essential Mica Glass Tape + XLPE fire-survival insulation, but distinguishes itself with a complete sheathing system of Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) for both inner and outer layers. This, combined with flexible tinned copper braid armor and a collective screen, provides an unparalleled solution that ensures continuous operation in a fire (IEC 60331) while offering maximum resistance to heat deformation, mechanical stress, and harsh environmental conditions.


Key Features & Benefits

  • Certified Fire Resistance (IEC 60331): Guarantees that essential circuits (emergency lighting, fire alarms, shutdown systems) remain operational for a specified period under direct flame and impact, which is vital for life safety and asset protection.

  • Ultimate Sheath Durability with Full SHF2: Utilizes Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) for both inner and outer sheaths, providing superior, long-term resistance to high temperatures, cracking, deformation, and chemical exposure compared to standard thermoplastic materials.

  • Fire-Survival Core Technology: The Mica Glass Tape layer over XLPE insulation forms a robust, heat-resistant ceramic 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), drastically reducing the emission of corrosive/toxic gases and smoke density to facilitate safer evacuation and minimize secondary damage.

  • Flexible & Corrosion-Resistant Armor: A braid of tinned copper wires offers excellent flexibility for installation, ease of termination, and reliable corrosion resistance in humid and saline marine atmospheres.

Typical Applications

  • Marine & Offshore: Critical emergency and control circuits in high-temperature zones, machinery spaces, and on vessels/platforms where both certified fire survival and maximum sheath durability against heat, oil, and abrasion are required. Ideal for emergency generator feeds, fire pump systems, and essential control panels.

  • Industrial & High-Risk Facilities: Power supply for life-safety and critical process systems in demanding industrial environments such as power plants, chemical processing, and heavy manufacturing, where cables are exposed to higher ambient temperatures, mechanical stress, or chemicals, and circuit integrity during a fire is non-negotiable.
