  5. Outer Sheath:

    • Type: 6 - Environmental & Safety Protection

    • Material: Halogen-Free Flame Retardant (HFFR) Thermoplastic Compound (Specific Grade: SHF1)

    • Flammability Class: NC (Halogen Free Low Smoke Fire Resistant - confirming compliance with IEC 60754, IEC 61034, and IEC 60331)

    • Color: Standard Black (Other colors available on request)

    • Key Properties: Excellent flame retardancy (IEC 60332-1 & -3-22), very low smoke emission (IEC 61034), no corrosive/toxic halogen gases (IEC 60754), good weathering, oil resistance, and mechanical toughness.

Material & Performance Characteristics

  • Fire Safety Excellence: Combines IEC 60331 Fire Resistance (circuit integrity), IEC 60332 Flame Retardancy (prevent fire spread), IEC 60754 Halogen Free (non-toxic, non-corrosive smoke), and IEC 61034 Low Smoke Density (visibility during evacuation/maintenance).

  • High Temperature Rating: Continuous operational temperature up to 90°C.

  • Enhanced Durability: Steel wire braid armor offers outstanding mechanical protection. XLPE insulation provides robust electrical and environmental resistance.

  • Signal Integrity: Effective overall screen minimizes electromagnetic interference.

  • Corrosion Resistance: Tinned copper conductors/braid and galvanized steel armor ensure longevity in salty, humid marine atmospheres.

  • Environmental Safety: Halogen-free sheath minimizes toxic hazards during combustion.
