Product Overview
The CHEPFP/SC is a screened, Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) marine communication cable designed for reliable data transmission in safety-sensitive applications. It combines EPR insulation for thermal stability with a Thermoplastic Polyolefin (SHF1) sheath, a dedicated metallic screen, and full LSHF compliance. This cable provides essential EMI protection and superior fire safety performance—minimizing smoke and toxic fumes—making it an ideal choice for internal shipboard communications, instrumentation, and control systems where enhanced safety is required.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Enhanced Fire Safety: Certified Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034), reducing corrosive gas emission and improving visibility in emergency situations. Complies with IEC 60332 flame retardancy standards for added safety in bundled installations.
-
Effective EMI/RFI Protection: The integrated tinned copper braid or Alu/Polyester tape screen safeguards sensitive telecommunication and instrumentation signals from electromagnetic interference, ensuring clear and reliable data transmission.
-
Cost-Effective LSHF Solution: Utilizes a Thermoplastic Polyolefin (SHF1) sheath that meets stringent LSHF requirements, offering a durable, environmentally resistant, and economical cable solution for general marine and industrial use.
-
Flexible and Lightweight: The unarmored design with a thermoplastic sheath makes this cable more flexible and easier to handle and install in cable trays, conduits, or behind panels compared to armored variants.
