Product Overview
The CHEFP90/SA is a heavy-duty, conduit-optimized marine communication cable engineered for installations where maximum mechanical protection and environmental resistance are required within protected pathways. It combines EPR insulation, a metallic screen, galvanized steel wire armor, and a PCP (Polychloroprene) inner sheath in a “No Outer Sheath” (0) configuration. This design is specifically tailored for pulling into conduits or ducts, offering a robust solution for critical communication circuits in the most demanding marine and industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Conduit-Optimized, Heavy-Duty Design: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (9) provides ultimate protection against crushing and impact, while the absence of an outer sheath (0) minimizes diameter and friction for optimal installation within conduits, cable ducts, or enclosed trunking.
-
Superior Environmental & Oil Resistance: The PCP (Polychloroprene) inner sheath (F) offers exceptional resistance to oils, fuels, chemicals, ozone, and weathering, ensuring long-term durability in harsh conditions typical of engine rooms and industrial plants.
-
Effective EMI/RFI Shielding: The integrated tinned copper braid or foil screen (P) protects sensitive instrumentation and data signals from electromagnetic interference, guaranteeing reliable transmission.
-
Flame Retardant: Complies with IEC 60332 flame retardancy standards for enhanced safety in bundled cable installations.

Applications
This armored cable is designed for the most physically demanding, protected installations:
-
Marine & Offshore: Critical control, instrumentation, and communication wiring in ship engine rooms, pump rooms, and on offshore platforms, where cables are routed inside heavy-duty conduits and must withstand exposure to oils, chemicals, and severe mechanical stress.
-
Heavy Industrial: Essential circuits in mining, chemical processing, and heavy manufacturing plants where cables require the highest level of mechanical protection (steel armor) and oil/chemical resistance (PCP sheath) within protected conduit or tray systems.
