CHJ95/SC Marine Communication Cable – XLPE Insulated, Steel Armored, SHF2 Sheathed (LSHF Flame Retardant)

Product Overview

The CHJ95/SC is a high-performance Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Flame Retardant marine communication cable engineered for critical telecommunication, instrumentation, and data systems. Featuring XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) insulation, heavy-duty galvanized steel wire armor, and a superior cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) outer sheath, this cable delivers enhanced fire safety, exceptional mechanical protection, and long-term environmental durability. It is designed for reliable operation in demanding marine, offshore, and 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) construction minimizes toxic/corrosive fume and smoke emission. Certified Flame Retardant (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) to inhibit fire spread.

  • High-Performance SHF2 Sheath: The cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) sheath (Code 5) provides superior thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical toughness compared to standard thermoplastic sheaths, ensuring excellent long-term protection.

  • Maximum Mechanical Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (Code 9) offers outstanding resistance against impact, crushing, and mechanical damage.

  • Reliable & Durable: XLPE insulation ensures excellent electrical properties, thermal endurance (90°C), and moisture resistance for stable, long-lasting performance.
