Product Overview
The CHEV90/SA is a robust, conduit-optimized marine communication cable designed for installations within protected pathways where mechanical durability is paramount. It combines reliable EPR insulation with a PVC inner sheath and galvanized steel wire armor in a “Without Outer Sheath” (0) configuration. This design is specifically engineered for pulling into conduits or cable ducts, providing a highly durable and cost-effective solution for general communication and control circuits in marine and industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Conduit-Optimized Armored Design: The galvanized steel wire braid armor (9) delivers superior mechanical protection against crushing and impact. The absence of an outer sheath (0) minimizes cable diameter and friction, facilitating easier installation within conduits, ducts, or enclosed trunking systems.
-
Cost-Effective Protection: The PVC inner sheath (V) provides essential internal protection and insulation. Combined with the steel armor, it offers a highly durable yet economical solution for applications where the installation environment itself provides the final external protection.
-
Flame Retardant: Complies with IEC 60332 flame retardancy standards for enhanced safety in both single and bunched cable installations.
-
Flexible Armor: The braided wire armor construction maintains greater flexibility compared to rigid armor types, simplifying the installation process over long distances and around bends.

Applications
This armored, conduit-ready cable is ideal for general-purpose circuits where physical protection within a raceway is required:
-
Marine & Offshore: Telecommunication and control wiring on ships and platforms for installation inside metal conduits or heavy-duty cable trays in areas like machinery spaces or along exposed decks.
-
Industrial: Data and control line installations in power plants, factories, and utility facilities where cables are routed through protected conduits or ducts and require the mechanical strength of steel armor.
