Specification

1.5mm 2C Stranded Tinned Copper Unshielded LFH 600V Military Vessels Shipboard Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 1.5mm 2C Stranded Tinned Copper Unshielded LFH 600V Military Vessels Shipboard Cable: 100 Amps

About:

• Purpose: Designed specifically for shipboard applications, this cable is used for power, lighting, and control systems on naval vessels.
• Material: Made with stranded tinned copper conductors, which offer excellent conductivity and are resistant to corrosion in marine environments.

Also Known As:

• Alternate Names: It may be referred to as marine-grade cable, naval shipboard cable, or LFH shipboard cable.

Application:

• Multi-core lightweight thin-wall insulated cables for power, lighting, control, communication and instrumentation circuits in HM surface ships and submarines. Incorporates LFH (Limited Fire Hazard) insulation and sheathed for reduced levels of smoke and toxic fumes in the event of a fire. Suitable for use in fixed or flexible applications where fuel, lubricating oils, hydraulic fluids and water are present

Construction:

• In accordance with DEF61-12 part 25.
• Conductor: Stranded Class 2 tinned copper conductors to BS EN 60228.
• Insulation: Thin-wall LFH (Limited Fire Hazard) insulation to DEF61-12 part 25.
N.B. Cores comply with DEF61-12 part 18 for category 1 equipment wires.
• Core Identification: 2 core - red, blue.
3 core - red, blue, white.
Above three core - Red and blue marker cores adjacent in each layer with remaining cores white.
N.B. When a single core is used as a centre the colour shall be white. In addition, cables of four core and above will also be numbered, in a contrasting colour, the core colours remaining as detailed above
• Binder Tape: p.e.t.p. tape minimum 20% overlap.
• Outer Sheath: Black LFH (Limited Fire Hazard) outer sheath to DEF61-12 part 31. In addition, the outer sheath also displays the following characteristics:
Minimum oxygen index: 30%.
Maximum HCL emission @ 800°C: 0.5%.
• Flame retardant to DS 02-641.
• Voltage Rating: 600V rms/800V d.c. (between cores, or between cores and ships structure, or between cores and cable screen).
• Temperature Rating: 85°C maximum conductor operating temperature.
N.B. Cables will also retain a degree of flexibility under weatherdeck conditions of -30°C.

Standards:

• Compliance: The cable typically meets strict military and international standards for performance, safety, and durability. Standards may include MIL-DTL-24643, IEEE 45, and IEC standards.
• Fire Safety: The LFH aspect indicates a focus on low fire hazard properties, meaning it's designed to emit low smoke and non-toxic fumes in case of a fire.

Features:

• Durability: Resistant to abrasion, moisture, oil, and various chemicals.
• Safety: The construction minimizes the risk of fire and smoke, crucial in confined shipboard environments.
