Product Overview
The CHJPF/NC is a high-quality Fire Resistant marine communication cable designed for essential telecommunication and data systems where maintaining signal integrity during a fire is critical, but heavy mechanical armor is not required. It features a reliable construction with XLPE insulation over mica glass tape and a thermoplastic polyolefin (SHF1) sheath, all made from Halogen-Free, Low Smoke Fire Resistant (LSHF) materials. This cable is engineered to provide crucial circuit survivability in fire situations and is fully compliant with IEC 60331 and the IEC 60092 series for marine applications.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance: Meets IEC 60331 standards, ensuring the cable continues to operate for a specified period under fire conditions, which is vital for emergency communications and safety systems.
-
Comprehensive Safety: Combines fire resistance with Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties to minimize toxic fumes and improve visibility during evacuation, alongside Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) characteristics.
-
Robust & Lightweight Design: The XLPE insulation with mica glass tape offers excellent thermal stability (90°C). The thermoplastic polyolefin (SHF1) sheath provides good environmental protection while maintaining a lighter and more flexible profile compared to armored cables.
-
Cost-Effective for Protected Routes: Ideal for installation in cable trays, conduits, or protected areas where the superior fire performance is needed, but extensive mechanical protection (armor) is provided by the installation method.
