Product Overview
The CHJV90/NA is a high-performance Fire Resistant marine communication cable engineered to maintain circuit integrity during fire emergencies. It combines XLPE insulation with a mica glass tape barrier and is constructed with Halogen-Free, Low Smoke (LSHF) materials, ensuring reliable operation for critical telecommunication and data systems on ships, offshore platforms, and in hazardous industrial environments. This cable meets stringent IEC 60092 standards, including the critical IEC 60331 for fire resistance.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance: Complies with IEC 60331, ensuring continued functionality of essential communication circuits during and after exposure to fire.
