CHJPF/SC Marine Communication Cable – XLPE Insulated, Low Smoke Halogen Free, Non-Armoured, IEC 60092 Compliant

Product Overview

The CHJPF/SC is a versatile and cost-effective Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Flame Retardant Marine Communication Cable. Designed with durable Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulation and a thermoplastic polyolefin (SHF1) sheath, it provides a reliable and flexible solution for data and signal transmission in environments where fire safety is paramount. As a non-armoured cable, it is ideal for protected installations within marine vessels, offshore platforms, and industrial control systems, fully adhering to the IEC 60092 standard series.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Essential Fire Safety: Complies with Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) standards, reducing toxic fumes and smoke opacity in case of fire. Meets Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) requirements to inhibit fire propagation.

  • Reliable & Flexible Design: XLPE insulation ensures stable electrical performance, high thermal resistance (90°C), and excellent moisture resistance. The cable offers good flexibility for easier routing and installation in cabinets, conduits, and cable trays.

  • Economic & Lightweight Solution: The non-armoured, single-sheath construction provides a lighter and more economical option for applications where mechanical protection is provided by the installation environment.
