CHJPFP90/SC Marine Cable – Armored & Screened, XLPE Insulated, Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF), IEC 60092

Product Overview

The CHJPFP90/SC is a robust armored and screened marine communication cable engineered for high-reliability data transmission in physically demanding and electromagnetically noisy environments. It combines XLPE insulation, a galvanized steel wire braid armor, and an overall Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) flame retardant construction. Designed for direct exposure in harsh conditions on ships, offshore platforms, and in heavy industry, this cable is manufactured in full compliance with the IEC 60092 series of marine electrical standards.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Superior Physical Protection: The outer galvanized steel wire braid armor provides excellent resistance to mechanical impact, crushing, and rodent attack, making it suitable for exposed installations, decks, and hazardous routes.

  • EMI Shielding & Signal Integrity: An integrated tinned copper braid or foil screen effectively guards against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring clean signal transmission for sensitive telecommunication and control systems.

  • Enhanced Fire Safety: Features Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties to reduce toxic fumes and smoke density. Certified for high Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22).

  • Durable & High-Temp Performance: XLPE insulation ensures long-term thermal stability (rated for 90°C), high dielectric strength, and resistance to moisture, chemicals, and aging.

  • Optimized for Direct Use: The construction ends with the armored layer (Without Outer Sheath, code 0), which is suitable for applications where the robust steel braid serves as the final protective layer.
