Product Overview
The CHJ86/NC is a Fire Resistant, Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) marine communication cable engineered to ensure continuous operation of critical systems during fire emergencies while offering superior installation flexibility. It features a fire-survivable mica glass tape + XLPE insulation system, a highly flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a LSHF thermoplastic polyolefin (SHF1) outer sheath. This cable provides an optimal combination of circuit integrity under fire, enhanced safety, flexibility, and electromagnetic shielding for vital telecommunication and data systems on ships, offshore platforms, and in demanding industrial environments, fully compliant with IEC 60092 and IEC 60331 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Guaranteed Fire Survival (IEC 60331): The mica glass tape + XLPE insulation (Code J) is designed to maintain circuit integrity and functionality during a fire, ensuring emergency communications and critical control signals remain operational.
-
Enhanced Safety (LSHF/NC Grade): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties minimize toxic fume emission and smoke density, promoting safer evacuation. The cable is also Flame Retardant (IEC 60332).
-
Flexible Armor with EMI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) provides excellent mechanical protection while offering superior flexibility for easier installation in complex routes. It also provides inherent shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
-
Optimized Installability & Durability: The flexible construction and LSHF sheath make this cable easier to handle and route than rigid steel-armored alternatives, without compromising on fire safety or protection.
