CHJPJP80/NC Marine Communication Cable – XLPE/Mica Fire Resistant, Screened, Flexible Armor, No Outer Sheath (LSHF NC)

Product Overview

The CHJPJP80/NC is a high-specification Fire Resistant, Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) marine communication cable designed for mission-critical installations where ultimate fire safety, signal integrity, and installation customization are required. It integrates a fire-resilient mica glass tape + XLPE insulation core, a high-performance cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) inner sheath, an overall electromagnetic screen, and a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor. Supplied without an outer sheath (Code 0), this NC-grade cable provides a premium, shielded, and protected core, offering unparalleled flexibility for final integration into custom conduits, systems, or specialized containment, ensuring full compliance with IEC 60331 and IEC 60092 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 vital emergency communications and control signals remain functional.

  • Enhanced Personnel Safety (LSHF/NC Grade): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties drastically reduce toxic fume emission and smoke density, critical for safety in confined marine and offshore spaces.

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

  • Maximum Customization & Integration: The absence of an outer sheath allows system integrators to apply a site-specific final over-sheath, conduit, or fireproofing layer, perfectly tailoring the installation to unique environmental and safety requirements.

  • Durable Internal Construction: The SHF2 inner sheath (Code PJ) provides excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance to the cable core prior to final assembly.
