Technical Features

• High Corrosion Resistance: Features high-purity tinned plain annealed flexible copper conductors designed to resist saltwater oxidation and marine atmospheric corrosion.

• Halogen-Free Insulation: Constructed with Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) or High-Modulus Ethylene Propylene Rubber (HEPR) insulation, delivering high current-carrying capacity up to +90°C.

• Electromagnetic Compatibility & Armoring: Built with a dense Tinned Copper Wire Braid (TCWB) armor that provides excellent mechanical strength against impact and chafing while serving as an effective screen against electromagnetic interference (EMI).

• Mud and Hydrocarbon Resistance: Encased in a heavy-duty SHF2 or SHF MUD elastomeric outer sheath specially formulated to withstand exposure to drilling muds, aliphatic hydrocarbons, lubricants, and marine oils.

• Fire Safety & Low Smoke Properties: Meets international flame-retardant (IEC 60332-3) and low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) standards to prevent toxic gas emissions and maintain clear vision during emergency shipboard evacuations.

Applications

• Offshore Oil & Gas Platforms: Installed on fixed platforms, jack-up rigs, FPSOs, and drillships for main power distribution, control systems, and lighting networks.

• Commercial Marine & Naval Vessels: Deployed across merchant ships, cargo vessels, passenger ferries, and naval frigates in restricted engine room spaces and weather-exposed decks.

• Port Infrastructure & Coastal Facilities: Suitable for shipyard installations, marine cranes, dockside loading equipment, and coastal industrial plants exposed to high humidity and salt spray.

Buyer Guidance

• Verify Classification Society Approvals: Ensure the cable meets required marine type-approvals from major international classification societies (such as ABS, DNV, Lloyd’s Register, or Bureau Veritas) for your vessel or platform registry.

• Select SHF2 vs. MUD Resistant Sheathing: Choose standard SHF2 cross-linked sheathing for general shipboard power and control runs, or upgrade to SHF MUD compliant options if cables will be exposed to synthetic drilling fluids on offshore rigs.

• Consider Armoring Needs: Select TCWB armored options when physical protection against abrasion and EMC screening is necessary; choose unarmored variants for light-duty, well-protected interior vessel wiring.
