Product Overview
The CHJP96/NC is a premium Fire Resistant, Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) marine communication cable designed for mission-critical telecommunication and data systems where circuit integrity during a fire is paramount. It features a unique mica glass tape + XLPE insulation system, an overall electromagnetic screen, heavy-duty galvanized steel wire armor, and a LSHF thermoplastic polyolefin (SHF1) sheath. This cable not only provides enhanced fire safety but also ensures signal integrity and mechanical protection for the most demanding marine, offshore, and industrial applications, complying with IEC 60092 and fire resistance standard IEC 60331.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Superior Fire Resistance & Circuit Integrity: The core mica glass tape + XLPE insulation (Code J) is engineered to maintain circuit integrity and continue functioning for a specified period under direct flame, as per IEC 60331, which is critical for emergency communication and control systems.
-
Enhanced Fire Safety (LSHF/NC Grade): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties significantly reduce toxic fumes and smoke opacity. The cable is also Flame Retardant (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) to inhibit fire spread.
-
Excellent EMI Protection & Mechanical Durability: The overall screen (Code P) protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI), while the galvanized steel wire braid armor (Code 9) provides maximum resistance against impact, crushing, and mechanical damage.
-
Reliable Performance in Extreme Conditions: Designed for a 90°C operating temperature, this cable ensures reliable data transmission in harsh environmental conditions encountered in marine and industrial settings.
