Product Overview
The CHEPF86/SC is a premium double-sheathed marine communication cable designed for environments demanding the highest levels of mechanical protection and fire safety. Building upon the robust foundation of EPR insulation and Halogen-Free Flame Retardant (LSHF) properties, it features an additional outer sheath, making it ideal for applications where enhanced durability and extra defense against abrasion, oils, and chemicals are required. It is fully compliant with the IEC 60092 series for maritime use.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Enhanced Mechanical & Environmental Protection: The dual-layer thermoplastic polyolefin (SHF1) sheath (Inner and Outer) provides superior resistance to abrasion, impact, moisture, oils, and chemicals, extending cable life in harsh marine and industrial settings.
-
Superior Fire Safety: Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties minimize toxic fumes and improve visibility. Certified for high Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22).
-
Robust EMI Shielding & Construction: EPR insulation ensures thermal stability (90°C) and flexibility. The tinned copper braid armor offers excellent mechanical protection and effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.
