CHEV/SA Marine Communication Cable – EPR Insulated, PVC Sheath, Flame Retardant

Product Overview

The CHEV/SA is a standard, cost-effective marine communication cable designed for general-purpose telecommunication and data transmission applications. It features reliable EPR insulation and a durable PVC outer sheath, providing a robust and flame-retardant solution for internal shipboard wiring, industrial control circuits, and general instrumentation where specialized armor or screening is not required.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Cost-Effective & Reliable: Provides the essential benefits of marine-grade EPR insulation (90°C thermal stability) with a standard PVC sheath, offering a dependable and economical cable solution.

  • Flame Retardant: Complies with IEC 60332 flame retardancy standards for both single and bunched cable installations, enhancing safety in general applications.

  • Flexible & Easy to Install: The unarmored and unscreened design makes this cable lightweight and highly flexible, simplifying handling and installation in cable trays, conduits, and behind panels.

  • Durable Sheathing: The PVC sheath (V) provides good resistance to abrasion, moisture, and general environmental factors, suitable for standard marine and industrial indoor use.
