CHJPJ85/NC Marine Communication Cable – XLPE Insulated, Fire Resistant (IEC 60331), LSHF, Armored

Product Overview

The CHJPJ85/NC is a high-performance Fire Resistant marine communication cable engineered for essential telecommunication and data systems where circuit integrity during fire is critical. It features a robust construction with XLPE insulation over mica glass tapecross-linked polyolefin sheaths (SHF2)copper braid armor, and a Halogen-Free, Low Smoke Fire Resistant (LSHF)* compound. This cable is designed to maintain signal transmission under fire conditions and is fully compliant with the stringent IEC 60092 series and IEC 60331 Fire Resistant standards for marine and offshore applications.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Critical Fire Resistance: Certified to IEC 60331, ensuring continued circuit operation during a fire. Combined with Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) and Halogen-Free Low Smoke (IEC 60754, 61034) properties for maximum life safety and asset protection.

  • Enhanced Thermal & Mechanical Durability: The XLPE insulation with mica glass tape and cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) sheaths offer superior thermal stability (90°C), abrasion resistance, and longevity in harsh environments.

  • Effective EMI Shielding & Protection: The tinned copper wire braid armor provides reliable mechanical protection and shields against electromagnetic interference (EMI) for clear signal integrity.

  • Marine & Industrial Robustness: Built to withstand the demanding conditions of offshore platforms, ships, and heavy industrial plants.
