Product Overview
The CHEPJP85/SC is a highly flexible and safety-oriented Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) marine communication cable. It features a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, a dedicated metallic screen, and is protected by a durable dual-layer Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) sheath. This combination provides an exceptional balance of EMI shielding, mechanical flexibility, and the highest fire safety standards (IEC 60754, 61034), making it ideal for dynamic or tight-space installations where fire safety is non-negotiable.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Optimal Flexibility & Safety: The tinned copper wire braid armor (8) offers excellent mechanical protection while maintaining superior flexibility compared to steel armor, facilitating easier installation in complex routes. Combined with full LSHF (SC) compliance, it ensures safety without sacrificing ease of handling.
-
Superior EMI/RFI Shielding: Utilizes a dual-shielding system: a primary tinned copper braid or foil screen (P) for signal integrity, backed by the conductive copper braid armor, providing outstanding protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
-
Maximum Durability & LSHF Integrity: The unique dual-layer SHF2 sheath (PJ inner & 5 outer) provides exceptional resistance to abrasion, chemicals, oil, and weathering, while guaranteeing zero halogen emission and low smoke density in case of fire.
-
Comprehensive Protection: Designed for applications requiring a flexible, shielded cable that also meets the strictest fire safety regulations for confined or high-occupancy spaces.
