CHJV82/NA Marine Communication Cable – XLPE & Mica Fire Resistant, PVC Sheathed

Product Overview

The CHJV82/NA is a Fire Resistant marine communication cable designed for critical data and signaling circuits where maintaining operation during a fire is essential. It features a core construction of XLPE insulation with mica glass tapetinned copper wire braid armor, and PVC sheaths. Complying with the stringent IEC 60331 fire resistance standard alongside halogen-free and low-smoke requirements, it ensures reliable performance for telecommunications and control systems in marine and industrial safety-critical applications.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Guaranteed Circuit Integrity: Certified Fire Resistant according to IEC 60331, ensuring continued functionality of vital communication links during fire emergencies.

  • Comprehensive Safety: Constructed with Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) materials to reduce hazardous emissions, plus Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) properties.

  • Robust & Protected Design: The Mica/XLPE insulation provides excellent thermal stability. The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) offers effective mechanical protection and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.

  • Durable & Practical Finish: PVC inner and outer sheaths provide robust environmental protection, abrasion resistance, and flexibility for easier installation.
