CHJPJ80/NC Marine Communication Cable – XLPE Insulated, Fire Resistant (IEC 60331), LSHF, No Outer Sheath

Product Overview

The CHJPJ80/NC is a specialized Fire Resistant marine communication cable designed to ensure the integrity of critical telecommunication and data systems during fire emergencies. It features a core construction of XLPE insulation over mica glass tape for fire resistance, cross-linked polyolefin inner sheath (SHF2), and copper braid armor. Supplied without an outer sheath (Code 0), this configuration is engineered for applications requiring final sheathing or integration into specific containment systems, while meeting stringent IEC 60331 Fire Resistant and IEC 60092 marine standards.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Guaranteed Fire Survival: Certified to IEC 60331 for maintaining circuit functionality under direct flame exposure, a critical feature for safety and emergency systems. Complies with Flame Retardant (IEC 60332)Halogen-Free (IEC 60754), and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) requirements for comprehensive safety.

  • High-Temperature & Durability: The XLPE insulation with mica glass tape provides excellent thermal endurance (90°C) and fire-resistant properties. The cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2) inner sheath offers robust mechanical and environmental protection.

  • EMI Shielding & Flexibility: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) ensures effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and mechanical protection. The lack of an outer sheath allows for installation flexibility in conduits, trays, or where a specific oversheath is applied on-site.
