CHJPJP85/NC Marine Communication Cable – XLPE/Mica Fire Resistant, Screened, Copper Armor, Double SHF2 Sheathed

Product Overview

The CHJPJP85/NC is a premium Fire Resistant, Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) marine communication cable engineered for critical systems requiring a perfect balance of fire survival, installation flexibility, and enhanced safety. It features a fire-resilient mica glass tape + XLPE insulation system, a high-performance cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) inner sheath, an overall electromagnetic screen, a highly flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a durable SHF2 outer sheath. This construction delivers guaranteed circuit integrity during fires, superior EMI protection, excellent mechanical durability, and the highest personnel safety standards (LSHF) for vital telecommunication and data networks in demanding marine, offshore, and industrial environments, fully complying with IEC 60092 and IEC 60331 standards.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Assured Fire Survival (IEC 60331): The mica glass tape + XLPE insulation (Code J) is engineered to maintain circuit operation during a fire, ensuring emergency communications, alarms, and control signals remain functional.

  • Enhanced Personnel & Environmental Safety (LSHF/NC): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) construction minimizes toxic, corrosive fume emission and reduces smoke density, crucially improving safety in confined spaces. The cable is also Flame Retardant (IEC 60332).

  • Flexible Armor with Superior EMI Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) provides robust mechanical protection while ensuring high flexibility for easy routing in complex installations. Combined with the overall screen (Code P), it offers excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) for pristine signal integrity.

  • Maximum Durability with SHF2 Sheathing: The dual-layer cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) sheath (Inner PJ & Outer 5) provides exceptional thermal stability, chemical/oil resistance, and mechanical toughness, offering superior long-term environmental protection compared to standard sheaths.
