Product Overview
The CHEPJP/NC is a premium, unarmored Fire Resistant marine communication cable that combines maximum fire safety with environmental protection. It features a core of mica glass tape and EPR insulation for circuit integrity during fire, protected by a Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) sheath that is both Halogen Free and Low Smoke. This cable is engineered to meet the critical safety standards IEC 60331 for fire resistance and IEC 60092 for marine applications, making it ideal for space and weight-sensitive installations where toxic fumes must be minimized.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Dual Fire Safety: Certified to IEC 60331 for Fire Resistance, ensuring operational continuity in a fire, while also being Halogen Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) to reduce toxic/corrosive gases and improve visibility for safe evacuation.
-
Premium Sheath Material: The Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) sheath offers superior thermal stability, durability, and excellent resistance to weathering, chemicals, and abrasion compared to standard compounds.
-
EMI Protection & Flexibility: The integrated tinned copper braid or Alu/Polyester tape screen provides effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. The unarmored design ensures high flexibility for easier routing in tight spaces.
-
Compliant & Safe: Fully meets Flame Retardant requirements (IEC 60332) and is designed for the most demanding safety-critical applications in maritime and industrial environments.
