Product Overview
The CHJPF86/NC is a Fire Resistant marine communication cable designed for critical signal and data transmission systems where operational integrity during fire events and electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection are both essential. It features a fire-resilient core of XLPE insulation over mica glass tape, a dual-layer thermoplastic polyolefin sheath (SHF1), and a tinned copper wire braid armor. As a Halogen-Free, Low Smoke Fire Resistant (LSHF) cable certified to IEC 60331, it is engineered for mission-critical circuits in marine and industrial settings requiring guaranteed performance under duress.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Circuit Integrity: Compliant with IEC 60331, ensuring continued operation of vital communication and control systems during a fire, a critical requirement for safety and emergency protocols.
-
Effective EMI Shielding & Flexibility: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) for clear signal integrity and offers greater flexibility compared to steel armor, simplifying installation in tight spaces.
-
Enhanced Safety Profile: Integrates fire resistance with Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties to minimize toxic fumes and improve visibility, alongside Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332) to prevent fire propagation.
-
Robust Double Protection: The thermoplastic polyolefin (SHF1) inner and outer sheaths offer excellent environmental resistance to moisture, oils, and abrasion, ensuring durability in demanding conditions.
