Product Overview
The CHEPF90/SC is a robust, marine-grade communication cable engineered for applications requiring superior mechanical protection. It combines reliable EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) insulation with Halogen-Free, Low Smoke Flame Retardant (LSHF) properties and a key feature: a Galvanized Steel Wire Braid Armor. This construction makes it ideal for fixed installations in harsh environments where resistance to crushing, impact, and rodent damage is critical, while maintaining the highest fire safety standards per IEC 60092.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Maximum Mechanical Protection: The Galvanized Steel Wire Braid Armor provides excellent tensile strength and superior resistance to crushing, impact, abrasion, and rodent bites, ensuring long-term integrity in demanding pathways.
-
Enhanced Fire Safety: Features Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties to minimize toxic fumes and improve visibility. Complies with stringent Flame Retardant standards (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22).
-
Durable & Reliable: EPR insulation offers stable performance across a wide temperature range (up to 90°C) with excellent moisture and aging resistance. The overall design is tailored for harsh marine and industrial conditions.
