Product Overview
The CHJPF90/SC is a robust steel wire armoured (SWA) marine communication cable engineered for fixed installations where superior mechanical protection and fire safety are critical. It features Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulation and a Halogen-Free, Low Smoke Flame Retardant (LSHF) construction. The defining characteristic is its exposed galvanized steel wire braid armor (Code 9), providing maximum resistance to crushing, impact, and tension without an additional outer sheath. This design makes it ideal for demanding, exposed routes in marine and industrial environments, ensuring full compliance with the IEC 60092 standard series.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Maximum Mechanical Protection: The exposed galvanized steel wire braid armor offers exceptional tensile strength and crush resistance, ideal for direct installation in high-risk areas, cable trays, or conduits where extra physical safeguarding is required.
-
Essential Fire Safety: Complies with Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) standards to reduce toxic fumes and smoke opacity. Meets stringent Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) requirements.
-
Durable & Cost-Effective Design: XLPE insulation ensures reliable electrical performance and thermal stability (90°C). The absence of an outer sheath over the armor provides a streamlined, economical solution for applications where the armor itself serves as the final protective layer and requires grounding.
-
For Exposed & Tough Environments: Specifically suited for installations where cables are subject to mechanical stress, such as in engine rooms, industrial plants, or areas with potential rodent issues.
