Product Overview
The CHEFP/SA is a screened marine communication cable designed for reliable performance in demanding environmental conditions. It features EPR insulation for electrical stability, a durable PCP (Polychloroprene) outer sheath, and an integral metallic screen. This construction provides an effective balance of environmental resistance, EMI protection, and flame retardancy, making it a robust choice for general marine, offshore, and industrial communication and control circuits.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Durable Environmental Protection: The PCP (Polychloroprene) sheath (F) offers excellent resistance to oils, chemicals, abrasion, weathering, and sunlight, providing long-term durability in exposed or harsh industrial and maritime settings.
-
Effective EMI/RFI Shielding: The tinned copper braid or Alu/Polyester tape screen (P) protects sensitive telecommunication and instrumentation signals from electromagnetic interference, ensuring clear and reliable data transmission.
-
Flame Retardant: Complies with IEC 60332 flame retardancy standards for both single (IEC 60332-1) and bunched (IEC 60332-3-22) cable installations, enhancing safety.
-
Robust & Reliable: EPR insulation ensures stable electrical performance and thermal resistance up to 90°C, supporting the cable's use in a wide range of operational temperatures.
