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.
Key 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.
