Product Overview
The CHEPJP80/SC is a flexible and safety-critical Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) marine communication cable, engineered for installation within conduits, trunking, or protected enclosures. It features a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, a dedicated metallic screen, and a Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) inner sheath. This “No Outer Sheath” (0) design is optimized for protected pathways, offering superior EMI shielding, flexibility, and the highest fire safety standards (IEC 60754, 61034) in a streamlined construction.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Conduit-Optimized, Flexible Design: The combination of a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor (8) and no outer sheath (0) minimizes overall diameter and friction, making it ideal for pulling into conduits, ducts, or control cabinets while maintaining easy handling and routing in tight spaces.
-
Exceptional EMI/RFI Shielding: Features a dual-layer shielding approach: a primary tinned copper braid or foil screen (P) for signal integrity, supplemented by the conductive copper braid armor, ensuring robust protection against electromagnetic interference for sensitive data and control signals.
-
Superior Fire Safety in a Compact Form: Delivers full Halogen-Free, Low Smoke Flame Retardant (SC) performance (complying with IEC 60754, 61034, and 60332), crucial for confined spaces, without the added bulk of an external sheath when installed in protected raceways.
-
Durable & Safe Construction: EPR insulation provides thermal stability (90°C), while the SHF2 inner sheath offers a tough, chemical-resistant layer that maintains the cable's LSHF integrity.

Applications
This cable is designed for protected, safety-critical, and EMI-sensitive installations where space and flexibility are key:
-
Marine & Offshore: Internal wiring for instrumentation, control systems, fire alarms, and communications within control consoles, junction boxes, and conduits on ships and platforms, adhering to strict LSHF codes.
-
Industrial: Process control, data acquisition, and factory automation systems in power plants, chemical facilities, and manufacturing plants, particularly where cables must be run through protective conduits or ducts and meet low smoke, zero halogen safety regulations.
