Product Overview
The CHJP82/NA is a Fire Resistant marine communication cable designed to ensure the continued operation of essential systems during fire emergencies. It features a fire-survivable mica glass tape + XLPE insulation system, an overall electromagnetic screen, a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a durable PVC outer sheath. Engineered to meet the IEC 60331 standard for fire resistance, this cable is ideal for critical telecommunication and data circuits on vessels, offshore platforms, and in industrial plants where maintaining signal integrity under fire conditions is required, and where the flexibility of copper armor is advantageous.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Critical Fire Resistance (IEC 60331): The mica glass tape + XLPE insulation (Code J) is designed to maintain circuit integrity and continue operating under direct flame, ensuring vital communication and control signals remain active during an emergency.
-
Flexible Armor with EMI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) provides robust mechanical protection while offering superior flexibility for easier installation in confined or complex pathways. Combined with the overall screen (Code P), it ensures protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) for clear signal transmission.
-
Durable Outer Protection: A tough PVC outer sheath (Code 2) offers reliable resistance to abrasion, moisture, oils, and general environmental wear.
-
Flame Retardant: Complies with Flame Retardant standards (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) to inhibit the spread of fire along the cable.
