Product Overview
The CHEPF90/NC is a specialized Fire Resistant (IEC 60331) marine communication cable engineered for critical circuits where maintaining operational integrity during a fire emergency is paramount. It combines Mica/EPR insulation for fire resistance with Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) safety properties. Featuring a robust Galvanized Steel Wire Braid armor and designed to IEC 60092 standards, this cable is ideal for essential telecommunication and control systems in high-risk marine, offshore, and industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Certified Fire Resistance: Meets IEC 60331 standards, ensuring circuit integrity continues to function for a specified period under direct fire conditions.
-
Comprehensive Safety: Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties reduce toxic/corrosive fumes and smoke density, enhancing evacuation and safety. Also provides Flame Retardant (IEC 60332) performance.
-
Robust Construction: Mica glass tape with EPR insulation provides a proven fire-resistant barrier. The Galvanized Steel Wire Braid armor (Code 9) offers excellent mechanical protection.
-
Marine & Industrial Grade: Designed for the harsh conditions of ships, oil platforms, and demanding industrial settings like power plants and chemical processing facilities.
