CHJPF96/NC Marine Communication Cable – XLPE Insulated, Fire Resistant (IEC 60331), Steel Wire Armored, LSHF

Product Overview

The CHJPF96/NC is a robust Fire Resistant and Steel Wire Armored marine communication cable, engineered to ensure the integrity of critical telecommunication, instrumentation, and data systems in the most demanding and high-risk environments. It combines XLPE insulation with mica glass tape for circuit survival during fire, double thermoplastic polyolefin sheaths (SHF1), and a protective galvanized steel wire braid armor. As a Halogen-Free, Low Smoke Fire Resistant (LSHF) cable compliant with IEC 60331, it is designed for applications where both fire safety and superior mechanical protection are non-negotiable.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Guaranteed Fire Survival Performance: Certified to IEC 60331, ensuring continued circuit operation under direct flame exposure, which is critical for emergency and safety-critical communication links.

  • Maximum Mechanical Durability: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (Code 9) provides exceptional protection against physical impact, crushing, and rodent damage, making it ideal for exposed or harsh installation routes.

  • Comprehensive Safety System: Integrates fire resistance with Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties to reduce toxic fumes, alongside Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332) to inhibit fire spread, offering a complete safety solution.

  • Robust Environmental Protection: The double-layer thermoplastic polyolefin (SHF1) sheath provides excellent resistance to moisture, oils, and chemicals, ensuring long-term reliability.
