CHJ96/SC Marine Communication Cable – XLPE Insulated, Steel Armored, LSHF Flame Retardant

Product Overview

The CHJ96/SC is a robust Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Flame Retardant marine communication cable designed for reliable telecommunication, instrumentation, and data transmission in demanding environments. It features XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) insulation for superior electrical performance, heavy-duty galvanized steel wire armor for mechanical protection, and a Low Smoke Halogen Free (SHF1) thermoplastic polyolefin outer sheath. This cable provides enhanced fire safety and durability for critical communication systems on ships, offshore platforms, and in industrial applications, 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 safety during evacuation. Certified Flame Retardant (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) to inhibit fire spread.

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

  • Reliable & Durable Performance: XLPE insulation ensures excellent thermal stability (90°C), moisture resistance, and long-term electrical integrity.

  • Cost-Effective Solution: An optimal choice for applications requiring high safety standards and mechanical protection without the need for individual pair or overall electromagnetic screening.
