Product Overview
The CHEV92/SA is a heavy-duty, armored marine communication cable designed for installations requiring maximum mechanical protection in standard environmental conditions. It features EPR insulation for reliable performance, galvanized steel wire armor for superior physical protection, and a durable dual-layer PVC sheath. This robust construction is engineered to safeguard communication and control circuits against impact, crushing, and abrasion in demanding marine and industrial settings.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Superior Mechanical Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (9) provides exceptional resistance against crushing, impact, and rodent damage, making it ideal for exposed runs, direct burial, or areas with high physical risk.
-
Durable & Cost-Effective Sheathing: The dual-layer PVC sheath (V inner & 2 outer) offers reliable protection against abrasion, moisture, and general environmental factors, providing a tough external barrier at a competitive cost.
-
Flame Retardant: Complies with IEC 60332 flame retardancy standards for both single (IEC 60332-1) and bunched (IEC 60332-3-22) cable installations, enhancing safety.
-
Flexible Design: Compared to steel tape armor, the braided wire armor maintains greater cable flexibility, easing installation over longer runs and around bends.
