CHEVP82/SA Marine Communication Cable – EPR Insulated, Screened with Copper Braid Armor & PVC Sheath, Flame Retardant

Product Overview

The CHEVP82/SA is a versatile screened marine communication cable designed for applications requiring reliable signal transmission with effective EMI protection and flexible armor. It combines EPR insulation, a dedicated metallic screen, a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a durable PVC outer sheath. This configuration provides an excellent balance of electrical shielding, mechanical protection, and flexibility for dynamic or space-constrained installations in marine and industrial settings.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Superior EMI/RFI Shielding & Flexible Armor: The dual-layer protection of a tinned copper braid or foil screen plus a tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) offers outstanding protection against electromagnetic interference while maintaining cable flexibility for easier routing and installation.

  • Durable External Protection: The robust PVC outer sheath (Code 2) provides reliable resistance to abrasion, oils, and environmental factors, suitable for both indoor and sheltered outdoor use.

  • Enhanced Signal Integrity & Grounding: The continuous copper braid armor acts as an excellent shield and provides a reliable ground path, crucial for sensitive instrumentation and communication circuits.

  • Flame Retardant & Durable: Complies with IEC 60332 flame retardancy standards. EPR insulation ensures long-term thermal stability (90°C) and reliability.
