Product Overview
The CHEPFP96/SC is a robust and safety-compliant armored marine communication cable, engineered to deliver reliable performance in demanding conditions. It integrates EPR insulation, a dedicated metallic screen, galvanized steel wire armor, and a dual-layer Thermoplastic Polyolefin (SHF1) sheath within a Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) construction. This design offers a comprehensive solution, combining mechanical durability, effective EMI shielding, and superior fire safety (IEC 60754, 61034) for critical data and control circuits in exposed or high-risk marine and industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Robust Mechanical Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (9) provides maximum resistance against crushing, impact, and rodent damage, making the cable suitable for direct burial, tray installation, or exposed runs in harsh conditions.
-
Enhanced Fire Safety & EMI Shielding: Features full Halogen-Free, Low Smoke Flame Retardant (SC) properties, minimizing toxic fumes and smoke. The tinned copper braid or foil screen (P) ensures protection against electromagnetic interference for signal integrity.
-
Cost-Effective, Durable Sheathing: The dual-layer Thermoplastic Polyolefin (SHF1) sheath (PF inner & 6 outer) offers excellent moisture, chemical, and abrasion resistance, providing durable external protection while maintaining cost-effectiveness and LSHF compliance.
-
Comprehensive Environmental Suitability: Designed to withstand harsh maritime and industrial atmospheres, offering a balance of physical protection, fire safety, and reliable data transmission.
