Product Overview
The CHEPJ80/SC is a highly flexible, safety-critical marine communication cable engineered for protected conduit or duct installations. It features EPR insulation, a Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) inner sheath, and a flexible tinned copper wire braid armor within a full Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) Flame Retardant construction. Its "Without Outer Sheath" (0) design is optimized for raceway installation, providing an ideal balance of superior fire safety, mechanical flexibility, and ease of installation for critical circuits in confined spaces.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Conduit-Optimized, Flexible Design: The tinned copper wire braid armor (8) provides mechanical protection with excellent flexibility. The no outer sheath (0) construction minimizes diameter and friction, making it perfect for pulling into conduits, cable ducts, or control cabinets.
-
Enhanced Fire Safety: Certified Halogen-Free (IEC 60754) and Low Smoke (IEC 61034), significantly reducing toxic and corrosive gas emissions. Complies with IEC 60332 flame retardancy standards.
-
Durable & Safe Construction: The Cross-linked Polyolefin (SHF2) inner sheath (PJ) offers excellent resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and thermal stress, ensuring the cable's integrity and maintaining its LSHF properties in protected environments.
-
Effective Grounding: The continuous copper braid armor serves as a reliable equipment grounding conductor, enhancing electrical safety for the installed circuit.
