XLPE Insulated Fire Resistant Shipboard Power Cable
Our 0.6/1kV XLPE Insulated Fire Resistant Shipboard Power Cables are engineered for critical power and control circuits where circuit integrity must be maintained during a fire. These cables are essential for emergency systems such as fire pumps, emergency lighting, alarm systems, and ventilation controls on marine vessels, offshore platforms.
Overview
1. Core Technology: Fire Resistance
Unlike standard flame-retardant cables, our fire-resistant cables incorporate a dual-layer insulation system:
Mica Glass Tape – Provides fire resistance; maintains electrical integrity even under direct flame exposure.
XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) – Offers high insulation resistance and thermal stability under normal operating conditions.

2. Product Series & Construction
We offer two series to meet different environmental and safety requirements:
2.1 CJV/NA Series (PVC sheath)
Conductor: Stranded tinned annealed copper (Class 2, IEC 60228)
Insulation: Mica glass tape + XLPE
Inner Sheath: PVC
Armor: 8 – Tinned copper wire braid / 9 – Galvanized steel wire braid
Outer Sheath: 0 – Without / 2 – PVC
Application: General marine environments with fire resistance as primary requirement
2.2 CJPJ/NC & CJPF/NC Series (LSZH sheath)
Conductor: Stranded tinned annealed copper (Class 2)
Insulation: Mica glass tape + XLPE
Inner Sheath: PJ (SHF2 – thermoset) / PF (SHF1 – thermoplastic)
Armor: 8 – Tinned copper wire braid / 9 – Galvanized steel wire braid
Outer Sheath: 5 (SHF2) / 6 (SHF1)
Application: High-risk areas requiring both fire resistance and low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) properties.
3. Application Scenarios
Environment | Recommended Series | Rationale |
Engine rooms, machinery spaces | CJPJ/NC (SHF2) | High oil resistance + fire resistance |
Emergency circuits, fire pumps, alarms | CJV/NA or CJPJ/NC | Circuit integrity during fire |
Cabins, control rooms | CJPF/NC (SHF1) | Economical LSZH fire-resistant solution |
Drilling platforms, mud zones | CJPJ/NC (SHF2) | Mud-resistant + fire-resistant |
General marine areas | CJV/NA | Standard PVC fire-resistant cable |
