CHJV82/SA Marine Communication Cable – XLPE Insulated, Copper Braid Armor, Flame Retardant

Product Overview

The CHJV82/SA is a high-performance Flame Retardant Marine Communication Cable designed for reliable signal transmission where electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and flexibility are key. It combines durable XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulation with a flexible Tinned Copper Wire Braid Armor, providing excellent shielding against interference. Protected by an overall PVC Outer Sheath, this cable is ideal for the sensitive electronic environments found on ships, offshore platforms, and in industrial plants.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Superior Electrical Performance: XLPE insulation ensures stable signal integrity, high thermal endurance (up to 90°C), and resistance to aging.

  • EMI/RFI Shielding & Flexibility: The Tinned Copper Braid Armor (Code 8) offers effective protection against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, crucial for sensitive communication and control systems. It is more flexible than steel armor, facilitating easier installation in tight spaces.

  • Comprehensive Protection: The overall PVC Outer Sheath (Code 2) provides robust mechanical protection, moisture resistance, and durability against oils and chemicals commonly found in industrial and marine settings.

  • Flame Retardant Safety: Complies with IEC 60332-1 and IEC 60332-3-22 standards for flame retardancy, helping to prevent the spread of fire along cable runs.
