CHJP86/SC Marine Communication Cable – XLPE Insulated, Screened, Flexible Copper Armor, LSHF

Product Overview

The CHJP86/SC is a flexible Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Flame Retardant marine communication cable engineered for data and signal transmission where ease of installation and electromagnetic compatibility are critical. It combines XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) insulation, an overall electromagnetic screen, a highly flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a LSHF thermoplastic polyolefin (SHF1) sheath. This design provides superior fire safety, excellent EMI protection, and outstanding flexibility for routing in confined spaces, making it ideal for complex telecommunication and instrumentation systems on ships, offshore platforms, and in industrial settings. It is fully compliant 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 fume emission and smoke opacity. Certified Flame Retardant (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) to inhibit fire spread.

  • Flexible Armor with Dual EMI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) provides robust mechanical protection while ensuring high flexibility. Combined with the dedicated overall screen (Code P), it offers superior shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) for pristine signal integrity.

  • Superior Installability: The flexible copper braid armor makes this cable significantly easier to handle, pull, and route in tight spaces compared to rigid steel-armored alternatives, reducing installation time and complexity.

  • Durable & Reliable: XLPE insulation ensures stable electrical performance, thermal endurance, and moisture resistance at a continuous 90°C operating temperature.
