Product Overview
The CHJP85/NC is a premium Fire Resistant, Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) marine communication cable engineered to maintain critical signal integrity during fire emergencies. It integrates a mica glass tape + XLPE insulation system (IEC 60331) for fire survival, an overall EMI screen, a highly flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a durable cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) outer sheath. This combination delivers unparalleled circuit integrity under fire, enhanced personnel safety (LSHF), superior flexibility for installation, and reliable EMI protection, making it ideal for the most critical communication and data systems on ships, offshore platforms, and in demanding industrial environments, in full compliance with IEC 60092 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Assured Fire Survival & Circuit Integrity: The specialized mica glass tape + XLPE insulation (Code J) is designed to maintain circuit operation during a fire (IEC 60331), ensuring that vital emergency communications, alarm, and control signals remain functional when it matters most.
-
Enhanced Personnel & Environmental Safety (LSHF/NC Grade): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) construction drastically reduces the emission of toxic, corrosive gases and smoke, facilitating safer evacuation and firefighting in confined spaces. It also meets Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) requirements.
-
Maximum Flexibility with Superior EMI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) provides excellent mechanical protection with exceptional flexibility, simplifying installation in complex or space-constrained routes. Together with the dedicated screen (Code P), it ensures robust protection against electromagnetic interference for flawless data transmission.
-
Durable & High-Performance Sheath: The cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) sheath (Code 5) offers superior thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical toughness compared to standard thermoplastics, providing long-lasting external protection.
