Product Overview
The CHJ85/SC is a premium Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Flame Retardant marine communication cable designed for installations requiring a balance of flexibility, durability, and enhanced safety. It features reliable XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) insulation, a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a high-performance cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) outer sheath. This cable is engineered for reliable telecommunication, instrumentation, and data transmission on ships, offshore platforms, and in demanding industrial environments, offering superior installability and long-term performance in compliance with IEC 60092 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Enhanced Fire Safety (LSHF/SC Grade): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties minimize the emission of toxic, corrosive fumes and reduce smoke density, enhancing safety in enclosed spaces. Certified Flame Retardant (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) to inhibit fire spread.
-
Superior Flexibility & Ease of Installation: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) provides excellent mechanical protection while maintaining high flexibility, making this cable significantly easier to route and install in tight spaces or complex pathways compared to steel-armored alternatives.
-
Durable & Chemically Resistant Sheath: The cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) sheath (Code 5) offers exceptional thermal stability, resistance to oils and chemicals, and mechanical toughness, providing superior long-term environmental protection.
-
Reliable Electrical Performance: XLPE insulation ensures stable electrical properties, thermal endurance, and moisture resistance for dependable operation at a continuous 90°C temperature rating.
