CHJP96/SC Marine Communication Cable – XLPE Insulated, Screened, Steel Armored, LSHF Sheathed

Product Overview

The CHJP96/SC is a high-performance Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Flame Retardant marine communication cable designed for reliable data and signal transmission in critical systems. It features XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) insulation, an overall electromagnetic screen, heavy-duty galvanized steel wire armor, and a LSHF thermoplastic polyolefin (SHF1) outer sheath. This construction offers superior fire safety, excellent EMI protection, and robust mechanical durability for telecommunication, instrumentation, and data processing systems on ships, offshore platforms, and in demanding industrial environments, fully complying with IEC 60092 standards.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Enhanced Fire Safety (LSHF/SC Grade): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties minimize toxic and corrosive fume emission, improving visibility and safety during evacuation. The cable meets stringent Flame Retardant (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) requirements.

  • Effective EMI Shielding & Signal Integrity: The integrated overall screen (Code P) provides reliable protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring clear and stable signal transmission for sensitive communication and computer systems.

  • Maximum Mechanical Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (Code 9) offers superior resistance against impact, crushing, and mechanical damage, ideal for exposed or high-risk installation areas.

  • Durable & Reliable: XLPE insulation ensures excellent electrical properties, thermal stability, and moisture resistance at a continuous operating temperature of 90°C.

Technical Specifications

  • Rated Voltage: 150/250V

  • Maximum Continuous Conductor Temperature: 90°C

  • Available Conductor Cross-Sections: 0.5 mm², 0.75 mm², 1.0 mm², 1.5 mm², 2.5 mm²

  • Core Configuration: Available from 1 to 37 pairs.
