Product Overview
The CHEPJ95/NC is an advanced Fire Resistant marine-grade communication cable designed for critical circuits where circuit integrity must be maintained during a fire. Building upon the standard flame-retardant properties, it combines Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) safety with Mica/EPR insulation and robust construction to meet stringent IEC 60331 requirements. This cable is engineered for the most demanding safety applications on ships, offshore platforms, and in high-risk industrial facilities.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Superior Fire Safety: Provides certified Fire Resistance (IEC 60331) to maintain functionality during a fire, alongside Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties for enhanced personnel safety and reduced equipment corrosion.
-
Enhanced Flame Retardancy: Offers additional Flame Retardant properties (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22) to inhibit the spread of flame.
-
Robust & Durable Construction: Mica glass tape with EPR insulation ensures exceptional thermal and fire integrity. The Galvanized Steel Wire Braid armor provides superior mechanical protection, and the full Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) sheathing ensures durability in harsh environments.
-
Marine & Heavy Industrial Grade: Designed to perform reliably under extreme conditions, including exposure to moisture, mechanical stress, and wide temperature variations.
