Product Overview
The CHJP95/NC is a high-performance Fire Resistant, Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) marine communication cable engineered to ensure critical communication and data transmission integrity during fire emergencies. It features a mica glass tape + XLPE insulation system (IEC 60331 compliant), an overall EMI screen, robust galvanized steel wire armor, and a durable cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) outer sheath. This cable provides an exceptional combination of fire survival capability, enhanced fire safety (LSHF), electromagnetic shielding, and mechanical protection for vital systems on ships, offshore platforms, and in heavy industry, complying fully with IEC 60092 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Superior Fire Resistance & Circuit Integrity: The unique mica glass tape + XLPE insulation (Code J) is specifically designed to maintain circuit operation under fire conditions (IEC 60331), ensuring that essential telecommunication and control signals remain active for a critical period during an emergency.
-
Enhanced Fire Safety (LSHF/NC Grade): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties minimize the release of toxic, corrosive gases and reduce smoke density. The cable also meets Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) requirements to inhibit fire spread.
-
Robust Protection & Durability: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (Code 9) offers maximum mechanical protection. The cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) sheath (Code 5) provides superior thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength compared to standard thermoplastic sheaths.
-
Guaranteed Signal Integrity: The integrated overall screen (Code P) effectively shields against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring clear and reliable data transmission for sensitive instrumentation and communication systems.
