Product Overview
The CHJPJ/SC is a premium, lightweight Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Flame Retardant Marine Communication Cable, combining the electrical excellence of XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulation with the enhanced safety of a Halogen-Free Cross-Linked Polyolefin (SHF2) sheath. Designed for fixed installations where fire safety and clean combustion are critical, it is ideal for confined spaces on vessels and offshore platforms, as well as in sensitive industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Superior Fire Safety Profile: Fully Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034), minimizing the emission of corrosive/toxic gases and reducing smoke density in a fire, enhancing visibility for safe evacuation.
-
Proven Flame Retardancy: Complies with IEC 60332-1 and IEC 60332-3-22 standards, effectively inhibiting the spread of flames along cable runs.
-
Durable & Reliable Construction: XLPE insulation ensures excellent dielectric strength, thermal stability (rated for 90°C), and resistance to aging. The Cross-Linked Polyolefin (SHF2) outer sheath provides robust mechanical and environmental protection without halogens.
-
Lightweight & Flexible Design: The non-armored, single-sheath construction makes the cable lighter and more flexible than armored alternatives, simplifying installation in cable trays, conduits, and tight spaces.
