Product Overview
The CHJPF90/NC is a heavy-duty Fire Resistant and Steel Wire Armored marine communication cable designed for mission-critical systems where fire survivability and maximum mechanical protection are essential. It features a fire-resilient core of XLPE insulation over mica glass tape, a protective thermoplastic polyolefin inner sheath (SHF1), and a robust galvanized steel wire braid armor. Supplied without an outer sheath (Code 0), this configuration is engineered for direct burial, concrete embedment, or installations where a final, site-specific protective covering is applied. It complies with IEC 60331 Fire Resistant and IEC 60092 marine standards, offering a Halogen-Free, Low Smoke (LSHF) safety profile.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Assured Fire Circuit Integrity: Certified to IEC 60331, guaranteeing the cable maintains functionality during fire exposure for critical alarm, communication, and control systems.
-
Superior Mechanical Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (Code 9) provides outstanding resistance against impact, crushing, and penetration, suitable for the harshest environments.
-
Installation & Customization Flexibility: The lack of an outer sheath allows for direct use in poured concrete, direct burial, or facilitates the addition of a corrosion-resistant or location-specific oversheath on-site, offering significant application versatility.
-
Comprehensive Safety Design: Combines fire resistance with Halogen-Free (IEC 60754), Low Smoke (IEC 61034), and Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) properties for maximum personnel safety and asset protection.
