Product Overview
The CHJV80/NA is a specialized Fire Resistant marine communication cable designed to maintain critical circuit integrity during fire emergencies. It features a robust XLPE and mica glass tape insulation system, tinned copper wire braid armor, and is supplied without an outer sheath (Code 0). This configuration provides maximum flexibility for installations where the armored cable core will be integrated into dedicated conduit or protective systems. Fully compliant with IEC 60331 for fire resistance and other key marine standards, it is ideal for vital telecommunications and data systems in safety-critical marine and industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance: Complies with IEC 60331, ensuring essential communication links remain operational during and after exposure to fire.
-
Enhanced Safety Design: Constructed with Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) materials, reducing toxic fumes and improving visibility. Also meets Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) requirements.
-
High-Performance Insulation: The Mica Glass Tape + XLPE insulation offers superior thermal endurance and electrical stability under extreme conditions.
-
Protected & Flexible Installation: The tinned copper wire braid armor provides mechanical protection and EMI shielding. The lack of an outer sheath allows for custom installation solutions, such as pulling into existing sealed conduit or applying site-specific jacketing.
