Product Overview
The CHEVP80/NA is a specialized Fire Resistant screened marine communication cable designed for critical circuits where maintaining operation during a fire is essential. It features a core construction of mica glass tape and EPR insulation for fire integrity, protected by tinned copper wire braid armor, and is supplied without an overall outer sheath. This makes it ideal for integration into panels, trays, or where a secondary sheathing is applied on-site. The cable meets stringent IEC 60092 marine standards and is certified to IEC 60331 for fire resistance.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Guaranteed Fire Survival: Engineered to IEC 60331 standards, ensuring critical alarm, communication, and control circuits remain functional in fire conditions.
-
Effective EMI Shielding & Flexible Armor: The tinned copper wire braid serves a dual purpose: providing electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and offering a flexible, protective armor layer.
-
Enhanced Safety Profile: Combines Fire Resistance with Low Smoke, Halogen-Free (LSHF) properties (IEC 60754, IEC 61034) and Flame Retardancy (IEC 60332) for maximum personnel and asset safety.
-
Integration-Friendly Design: The lack of an outer sheath (“0” code) offers installation flexibility for panel builders, system integrators, or when a specific over-sheathing is required.
