Product Overview
The CHJPF80/NC is a specialized Fire Resistant and EMI shielded marine communication cable designed for critical systems where fire survival, signal integrity, and installation flexibility are paramount. It combines a fire-resilient XLPE and mica glass tape insulation, a thermoplastic polyolefin inner sheath (SHF1), and a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor. Notably supplied without an outer sheath (Code 0), this configuration is ideal for installations within conduits, trays, or where a custom protective jacket is required, while maintaining full compliance with the stringent IEC 60331 Fire Resistant and IEC 60092 marine standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Guaranteed Fire Performance: Certified to IEC 60331, ensuring essential communication and control circuits remain operational during fire exposure, critical for emergency and safety systems.
-
Superior EMI Shielding & Flexibility: The tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) for clean signal transmission and offers greater flexibility than steel armor for easier routing in complex installations.
-
Customizable Installation: The absence of an outer sheath allows for direct pulling into protective conduits or ducts, or facilitates the application of a site-specific oversheath for chemical or abrasion resistance, offering significant adaptability.
-
Complete Safety Design: Integrates Fire Resistance with Halogen-Free (IEC 60754), Low Smoke (IEC 61034), and Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) properties for maximum personnel safety and reduced hazard during a fire incident.

Applications
This cable is engineered for critical communication pathways that require both fire integrity and EMI protection in adaptable installations:
-
Vital telecommunication, data processing, and instrumentation circuits on ships and offshore platforms, particularly for installation within sealed conduit systems or protected cable trays.
-
Sensitive control and communication links in industrial environments like power plants, chemical facilities, and mining operations, where EMI protection is needed and the final cable routing may require a custom external jacket.
