CJ92/SA Marine Power Cable – XLPE Insulated, PVC Sheathed, Steel Wire Armored (No Inner Sheath, 0.6/1kV IEC 60092)

Product Overview

The CJ92/SA is a heavy-duty, cost-effective marine power cable featuring a simplified yet robust construction without a separate inner sheath. Engineered for maximum mechanical protection, it combines reliable XLPE insulation with a high-strength galvanized steel wire braid armor and a durable PVC outer sheath. This streamlined design offers exceptional resistance to crushing, impact, and environmental factors, making it an ideal, economical solution for power, lighting, and control circuits in demanding marine and industrial environments where standard flame retardancy (SA grade) and superior physical durability are primary requirements.


Key Features & Benefits

  • Maximum Mechanical Protection: A braided armor of galvanized steel wires provides supreme resistance to crushing, impact, and tensile stress, making it suitable for exposed cable runs or areas with significant mechanical hazards.

  • Compact & Cost-Efficient Design: The absence of a separate inner sheath results in a more streamlined, potentially lighter, and economical cable structure, reducing material and installation costs while maintaining robust protection.

  • Standard Flame Retardancy (SA): Complies with IEC flame retardant standards for bunched cables (Category A), designed to inhibit the spread of flame along cable runs under defined test 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.

  • Durable External Sheathing: The PVC outer sheath offers good resistance to abrasion, moisture, oils, and general environmental exposure, ensuring long-term performance.

Standards & Approvals

This cable is designed and manufactured in accordance with the following international standards:

  • IEC 60092-350, 353: Electrical installations in ships – Design.

  • IEC 60228: Conductors of insulated cables.

  • IEC 60092-360: Insulating and sheathing materials.
