CHJPJP95/NC Marine Communication Cable – XLPE/Mica Fire Resistant, Screened, Steel Armored, Double SHF2 Sheathed

Product Overview

The CHJPJP95/NC represents the pinnacle of safety and durability in marine communication cabling. It is a Fire Resistant, Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) cable engineered for mission-critical telecommunication and data systems where circuit integrity during a fire is non-negotiable. This cable integrates a mica glass tape + XLPE insulation system for fire survival, an overall EMI screen, heavy-duty galvanized steel wire armor, and a dual-layer cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) sheath. Designed to meet the most stringent standards, including IEC 60331 for fire resistance, it provides ultimate protection for signal integrity, personnel safety, and mechanical resilience in the harshest marine, offshore, and industrial environments.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Ultimate Fire Survival (IEC 60331): The core mica glass tape + XLPE insulation (Code J) is specifically engineered to maintain circuit operation during a fire, ensuring that emergency communications, critical control, and data signals remain functional, supporting safe evacuation and emergency response.

  • Maximum Personnel & Environmental Safety (LSHF/NC): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) construction minimizes the release of toxic, corrosive fumes and reduces smoke opacity, crucially improving visibility and safety in confined spaces during an incident.

  • Superior Mechanical & Environmental Armor: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (Code 9) provides the highest level of protection against impact, crushing, and rodent damage. The dual-layer SHF2 sheath system (Inner PJ & Outer 5) offers unmatched thermal stability, chemical/oil resistance, and mechanical toughness for long-term cable integrity.

  • Guaranteed Signal Integrity: The integrated overall screen (Code P) ensures excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI), safeguarding sensitive data transmission from noise and crosstalk.
