Product Overview
The CJVP/NA is a cost-effective, unarmored fire resistant marine power cable designed for critical safety circuits in protected installations where circuit integrity during fire is essential. It features the certified Mica Glass Tape + XLPE composite insulation system (IEC 60331) to ensure continued operation of emergency systems under fire conditions. With a standard PVC inner sheath, collective copper screen, and no metallic armor, this cable offers superior flexibility, lightweight construction, and ease of installation in cable trays, conduits, or enclosed spaces, providing a reliable and economical solution for vital power and control circuits.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance (IEC 60331): Ensures that essential emergency circuits (e.g., emergency lighting, fire alarms, communication systems) remain operational for a specified duration under direct flame, which is critical for life safety and evacuation procedures.
-
Superior Flexibility & Lightweight: The unarmored (no metallic armor) construction provides excellent flexibility, ease of handling, and reduced weight, facilitating faster and simpler installation in cable management systems.
-
Fire-Survival Core Technology: The Mica Glass Tape layer over XLPE insulation forms a robust, heat-resistant ceramic barrier, maintaining electrical insulation integrity and preventing circuit failure during a fire event.
-
Cost-Effective & Reliable: Utilizes a proven PVC inner sheath and standard materials, offering a durable and economical fire-resistant solution for applications where halogen-free specifications are not required.
-
Essential EMI Shielding: The integrated collective copper screen protects against electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal integrity for power and sensitive control circuits.
