CKJPJ/SC CKJPF/SC Shipboard Control Cable 150/250V XLPE

The CKJPJ/SC and CKJPF/SC series are 150/250V shipboard control cables with XLPE insulation and halogen-free, low-smoke compounds, designed for control, monitoring and automation circuits on ships, offshore units and in industrial plants. The family covers non-armored, tinned-copper-braid-armored (TCWB) and galvanized-steel-wire-braid-armored (GSWB) constructions, with or without an outer sheath, all flame tested to IEC 60332-3-22 Category A. Applications range from river and seagoing vessels to offshore platforms, and equally to metallurgical plants, chemical works, power stations and mining facilities.

Product Overview

Control cables carry the signals that keep a vessel operating — steering gear commands, pump and valve feedback, alarm loops, deck machinery interlocks. The CKJPJ/SC and CKJPF/SC series are built for these circuits at 150/250V, where a power cable would be oversized and an unscreened wire would be unreliable.

The conductor is stranded annealed copper or tinned copper per IEC 60228 class 2, insulated with XLPE per IEC 60092-360. The "PJ" version uses an SHF2 halogen-free flame retardant thermoset inner sheath, while the "PF" version uses an SHF1 halogen-free flame retardant thermoplastic inner sheath. Armor options follow the standard marine code: 8 = tinned copper wire braid (TCWB), 9 = galvanized steel wire braid (GSWB), with outer sheath digits 0 (without outer sheath), 5 (SHF2) or 6 (SHF1). The standard sheath color is black where an outer sheath is applied.

A typical configuration from this family is CKJPJ85/SC 19x2.5 — a 19-core, 2.5mm² tinned-copper-braid armored control cable with SHF2 outer sheath. Other core counts and cross-sections are engineered against the project cable schedule.

Applications

• Control and monitoring circuits on river and seagoing vessels

• Offshore platforms and offshore building installations

• Steering gear, pump, valve and deck machinery control loops

• Alarm, automation and instrumentation wiring in engine rooms

• Industrial extensions: metallurgical plants, chemical works, power stations and mining facilities

Why Choose Anhui Tiankang

• Full variant coverage from one factory. Non-armored, TCWB and GSWB versions, with or without outer sheath, are produced under one quality system — your whole control cable schedule can be quoted in one package.

• Code-accurate quoting. Send the exact type code (e.g. CKJPF96/SC 19x1.5) and we quote that exact construction, with TDS to match.

• Approval-first confirmation. Class approval availability per type is verified before quotation to avoid comments at delivery.

• Industrial-duty crossover. The same constructions serve shore-side plants, so vessel and plant projects can standardize on one cable family.

• Documented supply. TDS, routine test reports and marking samples accompany each shipment on request.

Selection Guide / Buying Considerations

1. Define the circuit — control, signal or instrumentation — and confirm 150/250V rating is sufficient for the system.
2. Choose the core layout and size, e.g. 7x1.5, 12x1.5 or 19x2.5; share the cable schedule for exact matching.
3. Select the sheath system — PJ (SHF2 thermoset) for the highest halogen-free performance, PF (SHF1 thermoplastic) for easier termination handling; state any class notation requirements.
4. Decide on armor — TCWB (code 8) for mechanical protection with non-magnetic braid, GSWB (code 9) for maximum mechanical strength; add an outer sheath (5/6) where the installation needs a sealed, smooth jacket, or choose code 0 where the armored cable goes directly into glands.
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 is the difference between CKJPJ and CKJPF?
The difference is the inner sheath compound: PJ uses SHF2 halogen-free flame retardant thermoset material, PF uses SHF1 halogen-free flame retardant thermoplastic material. Electrical performance is equivalent; the choice depends on handling, temperature and project specification.

Q2: What does the "0" mean in CKJPJ80/SC or CKJPF90/SC?
A zero in the outer-sheath position means the cable is supplied without an outer sheath over the armor — the braided armor is the outermost layer, typically for direct termination into cable glands. Types 85/95 and 86/96 add an SHF2 or SHF1 outer sheath respectively.

Q3: Is this a screened cable?
The standard CKJPJ/SC and CKJPF/SC constructions are unscreened multi-core control cables. If your circuit requires screens, send the specification — screened versions are engineered per project and stated on the 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, core layout and cross-section (e.g. CKJPJ85/SC 19x2.5). TDS and test report references are provided with the quotation.
