Product Overview
The CHEFP92/SA is a heavy-duty, armored marine communication cable engineered for demanding installations where robust mechanical protection and environmental resistance are critical. It features EPR insulation, a metallic screen, galvanized steel wire armor, and a composite sheath system with a PCP inner sheath and PVC outer sheath. This construction provides exceptional physical durability, EMI shielding, and flame retardancy for reliable communication circuits in harsh marine and industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Maximum Mechanical Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (9) offers superior resistance to crushing, impact, and rodent damage, making it suitable for exposed runs, direct burial, or areas with high physical risk.
-
Durable Environmental & Chemical Resistance: The PCP (Polychloroprene) inner sheath (F) provides excellent resistance to oils, chemicals, and weathering. The external PVC outer sheath (2) adds further protection against abrasion and general environmental factors.
-
Effective EMI/RFI Shielding: The integrated tinned copper braid or foil screen (P) ensures protection for sensitive data and instrumentation signals against electromagnetic interference, maintaining signal integrity.
-
Flame Retardant: Complies with IEC 60332 flame retardancy standards for enhanced safety in both single and bunched cable installations.
