CKJPJ85/SC Armored Shipboard Control Cable 150/250V XLPE

CKJPJ85/SC is the top-spec armored variant of the CKJPJ shipboard control cable family: a 150/250V XLPE-insulated control cable combining a tinned copper wire braid (TCWB) armor with an SHF2 halogen-free flame retardant thermoset outer sheath. Where control circuits run through engine rooms, near deck machinery or along routes exposed to mechanical risk, this construction protects the signal cores while keeping the full low-smoke, halogen-free performance required on modern vessels — flame tested to IEC 60332-3-22 Category A. It belongs to the CKJPJ/SC & CKJPF/SC series and is produced under the IEC 60092 framework, with class approval availability confirmed per type and project.

Product Overview

CKJPJ85/SC carries control, monitoring and alarm signals on board river and seagoing vessels and offshore units — steering gear commands, pump and valve feedback, winch interlocks, engine room automation loops. It is specified when the route exposes the cable to impact, vibration or contact with steelwork, and when the specification calls for the highest-grade halogen-free compounds in both inner and outer layers.

The construction decodes as follows: CK — shipboard control cable; J — XLPE insulation per IEC 60092-360; PJ — SHF2 halogen-free flame retardant thermoset inner sheath; 8 — tinned copper wire braid (TCWB) armor; 5 — SHF2 halogen-free flame retardant thermoset outer sheath; /SC — LSHF flame retardant, IEC 60332-3-22 Category A. The standard outer sheath color is black.

A representative configuration is CKJPJ85/SC 19x2.5 — 19 cores of 2.5mm². Layouts such as 7x1.5 and 12x1.5 are also produced, and further core counts and cross-sections are engineered against the project cable schedule, with exact data stated in the type TDS.

Applications

• Engine room control and monitoring circuits on commercial vessels
• Steering gear, pump, valve and deck machinery control loops
• Alarm and automation wiring in enclosed and high-traffic areas
• Offshore platforms and support vessel topside control systems
• Shore-side extensions in metallurgical, chemical, power and mining plants using the same construction
• Retrofit and spare supply matching existing CKJPJ85/SC cable marking

Why Choose Anhui Tiankang

• Exact-type supply. You quote by full type code — CKJPJ85/SC, core count and size — and receive that exact construction with matching TDS and marking.
• Thermoset double protection. SHF2 inner and outer sheaths around a tinned copper braid give this variant its high-grade halogen-free profile, produced and tested in-house.
• Approval-first quoting. Class approval availability per type is verified before quotation to avoid comments at delivery.
• Family consistency. Pair it with non-armored CKJPJ/SC or GSWB-armored CKJPJ95/SC from the same series — one quality system across the whole control cable schedule.
• Documented batches. TDS, routine test reports and marking samples accompany each shipment on request.

Selection Guide / Buying Considerations

1. Confirm the circuit function and that 150/250V rating suits the system.
2. Define core layout and size — e.g. 7x1.5, 12x1.5 or 19x2.5 — or send the cable schedule for exact matching.
3. Confirm armor choice — TCWB (code 8, this type) suits most mechanical duty with a non-magnetic, conductive braid; for maximum mechanical strength compare CKJPJ95/SC (GSWB, code 9).
4. Confirm sheath system — the 85 construction uses SHF2 thermoset both inside and out; if the specification calls for SHF1 thermoplastic, compare CKJPF86/SC.
5. State your class society (CCS, DNV, ABS, LR, BV, RINA) so approval scope can be verified.
6. Provide quantity, drum lengths and destination port for packing and freight planning.

The type code plus a photo of existing cable marking is enough for an accurate quotation.

FAQ

Q1: What does "85" mean in CKJPJ85/SC?
8 denotes the tinned copper wire braid (TCWB) armor, and 5 denotes the SHF2 halogen-free flame retardant thermoset outer sheath. PJ in the middle denotes the SHF2 thermoset inner sheath — so both sheath layers and the armor are specified in the code.

Q2: What sizes are available in CKJPJ85/SC?
Typical layouts include 7x1.5, 12x1.5 and 19x2.5, with other core counts and cross-sections engineered per project. Exact dimensions and electrical data are stated in the type TDS.

Q3: Is this cable screened?
The standard construction is unscreened multi-core. Screened versions are engineered per project — send the specification and we will confirm construction and TDS.

Q4: Can you support class type approval?
Approval from CCS, DNV, ABS, LR, BV and RINA is available for applicable types and confirmed per project against certificate scope. Tell us your society and we will verify before you order.

Q5: How do I request the TDS and a quotation?
Use the contact page to send the type code with core layout and size — for example, CKJPJ85/SC 19x2.5. TDS and test report references are provided with the quotation.
