Product Overview
The CHJPFP/NC is a Fire Resistant, Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) marine communication cable designed for critical telecommunication, instrumentation, and data systems where circuit integrity and personnel safety during a fire are paramount. It features a fire-survivable mica glass tape + XLPE insulation system, an overall electromagnetic screen, and a Low Smoke Halogen Free (SHF1) thermoplastic polyolefin outer sheath. This non-armored, flexible cable is engineered to maintain signal transmission under fire conditions while minimizing toxic fumes and smoke, making it ideal for safe and reliable installations in marine vessels, offshore platforms, and industrial plants, in full compliance with IEC 60092 and IEC 60331 standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Guaranteed Fire Survival (IEC 60331): The mica glass tape + XLPE insulation (Code J) is designed to maintain circuit integrity and continue operating during a fire, ensuring that emergency communications, alarms, and control signals remain functional.
-
Enhanced Personnel Safety (LSHF/NC Grade): Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties drastically reduce the emission of toxic, corrosive gases and smoke opacity, significantly improving safety for evacuation and firefighting in confined spaces.
-
Effective EMI/RFI Shielding: The integrated overall screen (Code P) protects sensitive data and communication signals from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, ensuring signal clarity.
-
Flexible & Lightweight: The non-armored design with an LSHF sheath makes this cable highly flexible and easier to install in conduits, trays, and confined spaces compared to armored cables.
