Product Overview
The CHEV82/SA is a flexible armored marine communication cable designed for applications requiring reliable mechanical protection with enhanced flexibility. It features durable EPR insulation, a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a protective dual-layer PVC sheath. This construction provides an optimal balance of physical durability, ease of installation, and cost-effectiveness for general communication and control circuits in standard marine and industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Superior Flexibility & Protection: The tinned copper wire braid armor (8) offers effective mechanical protection against impact and abrasion while maintaining high flexibility. This makes the cable easier to handle, route around tight bends, and install compared to rigid steel-armored alternatives.
-
Effective Flexible Shielding: The copper braid armor also acts as a continuous electromagnetic shield, providing a degree of protection against interference and offering a reliable grounding path.
-
Durable & Economical Sheathing: The dual-layer PVC sheath (V inner & 2 outer) provides robust protection against abrasion, moisture, and general environmental factors, ensuring longevity in a cost-effective package.
-
Flame Retardant: Complies with IEC 60332 flame retardancy standards for enhanced safety in bundled cable installations.

Applications
This flexible armored cable is ideal for general-purpose circuits where ease of installation and physical protection are key:
-
Marine & Offshore: Internal telecommunication and control wiring on ships and platforms, particularly in areas where cables need to be routed around equipment, through tight spaces, or in control cabinets where flexibility is advantageous.
-
Industrial: Data transmission and control circuits in factory automation, power distribution panels, and machinery where a flexible yet durable armored cable is preferred for tray or conduit installation.
