Product Overview
The CHEPF80/SC is a premium marine-grade, symmetrical communication cable engineered for critical data and signaling applications where maximum safety and reliability are paramount. It features superior Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation and a Halogen-Free, Low Smoke Flame Retardant (LSHF) construction, designed to ensure operational integrity in the demanding environments of ships, offshore platforms, and heavy industries. This cable is fully compliant with the rigorous IEC 60092 series of international standards for marine electrical installations.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Enhanced Fire Safety: Halogen-Free composition minimizes corrosive and toxic gas emission (IEC 60754). Low Smoke properties (IEC 61034) and high Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) improve visibility and safety during evacuation and firefighting.
-
Robust & Durable Construction: EPR insulation provides excellent thermal stability, moisture resistance, and long-term aging performance (90°C). The tinned copper wire braid armor offers mechanical protection and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.
-
Marine & Industrial Grade: Built to withstand harsh environmental conditions such as vibration, moisture, and oil mist, prevalent in maritime and industrial settings.
