CHJV80/SA Marine Communication Cable | XLPE Insulation, Copper Braid Armor, Flame Retardant (IEC 60092)

Product Overview

The CHJV80/SA is a high-performance Flame Retardant Marine Communication Cable designed for reliable signal transmission in demanding environments. It features durable Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulation and a protective tinned copper wire braid armor, offering an excellent balance of electrical integrity, mechanical strength, and fire safety for fixed installations onboard ships and offshore platforms.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Reliable XLPE Insulation: Provides superior electrical properties, excellent thermal resistance (rated for 90°C), and enhanced aging performance compared to standard polyethylene, ensuring long-term signal stability.

  • Effective EMI Protection & Flexibility: The tinned copper wire braided armor offers good electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and mechanical protection while maintaining cable flexibility for easier routing in confined spaces.

  • Verified Flame Retardancy: Complies with IEC 60332-1 (single wire) and IEC 60332-3-22 (bunched cables) flame tests, helping to limit flame propagation along cables in the event of a fire.

  • Streamlined Construction: Designed without an outer sheath (Code: 0), making it suitable for installation within protected panels, conduits, or enclosed trays where additional external protection is not required.

Technical Specifications

  • Rated Voltage: 150/250V

  • Maximum Continuous Conductor Temperature: 90°C

  • Available Conductor Cross-Sections: 0.5 mm², 0.75 mm², 1.0 mm², 1.5 mm², 2.5 mm²

  • Core Configuration: Available from 1 to 37 pairs.
