Product Overview
The CHEPJ85/SC is a flexible and safety-engineered marine communication cable that combines superior fire safety with flexible mechanical protection. Featuring EPR insulation, a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor, and a dual-layer Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) sheath, this cable provides full Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Flame Retardant performance. It is designed for applications requiring both enhanced flexibility for installation and the highest standards of fire safety in demanding marine and industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Optimal Flexibility & Protection: The tinned copper wire braid armor (8) offers excellent mechanical protection against impact and abrasion while maintaining superior flexibility, facilitating easier routing in confined spaces and around equipment compared to rigid steel armor.
-
Certified Fire Safety: Provides full Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034) properties, minimizing toxic fumes and smoke density. Complies with IEC 60332 flame retardancy standards for enhanced safety.
-
Durable & Resilient Sheathing: The dual-layer Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) sheath (PJ inner & 5 outer) offers exceptional resistance to abrasion, chemicals, oils, and environmental stress, ensuring long-term durability while preserving LSHF integrity.
-
Effective Grounding & Shielding: The continuous copper braid armor acts as an effective electromagnetic shield and provides a reliable equipment grounding conductor, enhancing overall circuit safety and performance.
