CHJV90/SA Marine Communication Cable – XLPE Insulated, Steel Wire Armored, Flame Retardant

Product Overview

The CHJV90/SA is a robust and reliable Flame Retardant Marine Communication Cable designed for fixed installations. Featuring durable Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulation and a protective Galvanized Steel Wire Braid armor, it is engineered to deliver secure signal transmission in demanding environments onboard ships, offshore platforms, and in heavy industries. This cable complies with key international marine standards, including the IEC 60092 series.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Durable XLPE Insulation: Provides excellent electrical properties, high thermal resistance (up to 90°C), and superior mechanical and aging performance compared to standard polyethylene.

  • Mechanical Protection: The Galvanized Steel Wire Braid Armor (Code 9) offers high resistance to impact, crushing, and mechanical stress, safeguarding the cable core in demanding applications.

  • Flame Retardant Safety: Certified to IEC 60332-1 (single wire) and IEC 60332-3-22 (bunched cables) flame test standards, helping to inhibit the spread of fire along cable runs.

  • Versatile Construction: The "0" code indicates no separate outer sheath over the armor, making it suitable for installations where the armored cable is drawn into conduits, trays, or protected ducts.
