Product Overview
The CHEV80/SA is a conduit-optimized, flexible marine communication cable designed for streamlined installation within protected raceways. It combines reliable EPR insulation and a PVC inner sheath with a highly flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, presented in a “Without Outer Sheath” (0) configuration. This design prioritizes ease of installation, mechanical flexibility, and effective grounding for general communication and control circuits in standard marine and industrial settings where cables are installed within conduits or ducts.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Ideal for Conduit & Duct Installation: The combination of a flexible copper braid armor (8) and no outer sheath (0) creates a cable with a minimized cross-section and low surface friction, making it exceptionally easy to pull through conduits, cable ducts, and enclosed trunking.
-
High Flexibility & Practical Protection: The tinned copper wire braid armor provides effective mechanical protection against impact and abrasion while allowing for easy bending and routing in tight spaces, simplifying installation in complex pathways.
-
Effective Grounding Path: The continuous copper braid armor serves as an excellent equipment grounding conductor, enhancing electrical safety for the circuit.
-
Flame Retardant: Complies with IEC 60332 flame retardancy standards for safety in bundled cable applications.
