Product Overview
The CHEFP82/SA is a flexible and durable screened marine communication cable designed for applications requiring a balance of mechanical protection, environmental resistance, and effective EMI shielding. It features EPR insulation, a PCP (Polychloroprene) inner sheath for chemical/oil resistance, a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a final PVC outer sheath. This construction is ideal for dynamic installations or areas where resistance to harsh substances is critical, such as in marine engine rooms and industrial plants.
Features & Benefits
-
Flexible Armor & Effective Shielding: The tinned copper wire braid armor (8) provides good mechanical protection while maintaining high flexibility for easier routing. Combined with the independent metallic screen (P), it offers dual-layer protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
-
Excellent Chemical & Oil Resistance: The PCP (Polychloroprene) inner sheath (F) delivers superior resistance to oils, fuels, chemicals, and ozone, ensuring long-term integrity in challenging environments.
-
Durable External Protection: The robust PVC outer sheath (2) provides reliable protection against abrasion, moisture, and general environmental factors.
-
Flame Retardant: Complies with IEC 60332 flame retardancy standards for enhanced safety in bundled cable installations.
