Product Overview
The CJ86/SC is a streamlined and environmentally safe marine power cable, engineered with an efficient construction that omits a separate inner sheath. It features reliable XLPE insulation for stable electrical performance, protected by a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor and an outer sheath of Halogen-Free, Low-Smoke Thermoplastic Polyolefin (SHF1). This compact design provides enhanced fire safety (SC grade) with minimal smoke and toxic gas emission, combined with good mechanical protection, making it an ideal, space-saving solution for general and critical power circuits in marine and industrial applications where environmental safety and durability are priorities.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Compact & Efficient Design: The absence of a separate inner sheath creates a more streamlined, lightweight cable structure, facilitating easier handling, routing, and installation in space-constrained environments like cable trays and conduits.
-
Enhanced Fire Safety (LSZH): Rated SC (Halogen Free, Low Smoke, Flame Retardant), this cable significantly reduces the emission of corrosive/toxic gases and smoke density in case of fire, enhancing personnel safety and protecting sensitive equipment.
-
Flexible & Corrosion-Resistant Armor: The braided armor of tinned copper wires provides excellent flexibility for installation, good tensile strength, and inherent corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for humid and saline marine atmospheres.
-
Durable & Chemically Resistant Sheath: The Thermoplastic Polyolefin (SHF1) outer sheath offers good resistance to abrasion, moisture, oils, and a range of chemicals, ensuring long-term performance in demanding conditions.
-
Reliable Electrical Performance: XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulation ensures excellent dielectric properties and thermal stability for continuous operation at temperatures up to 90°C.
