Product Overview
The CHJV/NA is a Fire Resistant marine communication cable designed to ensure the continued operation of essential telecommunication and data circuits during fire emergencies. Featuring a fire-survivable mica glass tape + XLPE insulation system and a protective PVC outer sheath, this non-armored cable offers a flexible and cost-effective solution for critical systems where maintaining circuit integrity under fire conditions is a key requirement, as per IEC 60331. It is suitable for fixed installations within protected environments on ships, offshore platforms, and in industrial plants.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Critical Fire Resistance (IEC 60331): The mica glass tape + XLPE insulation (Code J) is designed to maintain circuit integrity and continue operating under direct flame, ensuring that emergency communications and control signals remain active.
-
Flexible & Lightweight: The simple, non-armored construction with a PVC sheath (Code V) makes this cable highly flexible and easy to install in conduits, trays, and confined spaces.
-
Cost-Effective Fire Survival Solution: Provides essential fire-resistant performance for general communication circuits where the additional protection of screening or armor is not specified.
-
Flame Retardant: Complies with Flame Retardant standards (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) to inhibit the spread of fire along the cable.
