CHJPJ95/NC Marine Communication Cable – XLPE Insulated, Fire Resistant, LSHF, Steel Wire Armored

Product Overview

The CHJPJ95/NC is a premium-grade, armored marine communication cable designed for the most demanding safety-critical applications. It integrates Fire Resistance (IEC 60331) with Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) properties, featuring XLPE and mica glass tape insulation, a galvanized steel wire braid armor, and a dual-layer cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) sheath. This robust construction ensures exceptional circuit integrity during fire events, superior mechanical protection, and minimal hazardous emissions, making it ideal for vital telecommunications and data systems on ships, offshore platforms, and in high-risk industrial plants.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Maximum Fire Safety & Circuit Integrity: Certified to IEC 60331 Fire Resistance standard, guaranteeing continued operation of critical communication links in fire conditions. Also meets Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) requirements.

  • Enhanced Environmental Safety: Full Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) compliance, classified under NC flammability code, significantly reduces toxic fumes and smoke density for safer evacuation and firefighting.

  • Superior Mechanical Durability: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (Code 9) provides outstanding protection against crushing, impact, rodent damage, and other mechanical stresses in harsh environments.

  • Robust Chemical & Thermal Resistance: The double-layer cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) sheath offers excellent resistance to oil, chemicals, abrasion, and weathering, ensuring long-term reliability.
