CHEVP80/SA Marine Communication Cable – EPR Insulated, Screened & Flexible Copper Armor, Flame Retardant, No Outer Sheath

Product Overview

The CHEVP80/SA is a flexible, screened, and armored marine communication cable engineered for installation within conduit, trunking, or protected enclosures where an external sheath is not required. It features EPR insulation for thermal endurance, a dedicated metallic screen for EMI protection, and a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor. This design offers superior flexibility, effective shielding, and mechanical protection, making it ideal for complex routing in control panels and enclosed spaces within demanding marine and industrial environments.

Key Features & Benefits

  • High Flexibility & Superior Shielding: The combination of a tinned copper braid or foil screen and a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor (Code 8) provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference while allowing for easy bending and installation in tight spaces.

  • Optimized for Enclosed Installations: The "Without Outer Sheath" (Code 0) design is purpose-built for pulling into conduits, cable ducts, or control cabinets, reducing overall diameter and friction for easier installation.

  • Effective Grounding & Durability: The continuous copper braid armor serves as a highly effective shield and provides a reliable, low-resistance ground path. EPR insulation ensures stable performance at temperatures up to 90°C.

  • Flame Retardant: Complies with IEC 60332 flame retardancy standards for enhanced safety in bundled applications.
