CJPF96/SC GSWB Armored Marine Power Cable 3.6/6kV-12/20kV

The CJPF96/SC is the heavy-duty armored variant of the CJPF screened medium voltage shipboard power cable family, replacing the tinned copper braid of the 86 type with a galvanized steel wire braid (GSWB) for maximum mechanical protection. Rated from 3.6/6kV to 12/20kV, it keeps the fully screened XLPE system and adds a red SHF1 halogen-free sheath, flame tested to IEC 60332-3-22 Category A. It is the type to specify where MV feeders face serious mechanical risk — deck crossings, drag zones, heavy vibration or exposed runs on offshore units. Construction follows the IEC 60092 series framework, with class approval availability confirmed per type and project.

Product Overview

CJPF96/SC serves the same circuit functions as the rest of the CJPF MV family — main switchboard feeders, generator and transformer connections, thruster and heavy motor supply — but where the installation route exposes the cable to impact, crushing, vibration or repeated contact with steelwork, the galvanized steel wire braid armor provides a much higher level of mechanical protection than the non-armored CJPF/SC or the lighter tinned-copper braid of CJPF86/SC.

The construction stacks the full screened MV system — stranded annealed copper conductor, extruded semiconductive conductor screen, XLPE insulation per IEC 60092-360, extruded semiconductive insulation screen with copper tape — inside a halogen-free SHF1 thermoplastic inner sheath, finished with the galvanized steel wire braid and a red SHF1 thermoplastic outer sheath.

Standard rated voltages are 3.6/6kV, 6/10kV, 8.7/15kV and 12/20kV. Typical three-core sizes include 3x25, 3x35, 3x50, 3x70, 3x95 and 3x120, with other cross-sections engineered against the project cable schedule. Exact dimensions, armor coverage and electrical data are stated in the type TDS.

Applications

• MV feeders crossing decks, coamings and high-traffic machinery spaces

• Generator, transformer and heavy motor connections exposed to mechanical risk

• Winch, crane and deck machinery power supply near moving steelwork

• Offshore platforms, FPSO and support vessel topside wiring in exposed areas

• Retrofit projects matching existing CJPF96/SC cable marking

• Shipyards and marine EPC contractors specifying armored MV schedules

Why Choose Anhui Tiankang

• Armor chosen by duty, not by habit. We compare TCWB (CJPF86/SC) and GSWB (CJPF96/SC) against your route description, mechanical exposure, weight limits and class requirements, and document the recommendation.

• Screened MV discipline. Semiconductive layers, copper tape screen and partial discharge testing are maintained in-house for the full CJPF family.

• Approval-first quoting. Approval availability per type is verified before quotation to avoid class comments at delivery.

• Cable schedule matching. Send your schedule and we map each line to the correct construction, voltage and size.

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

Selection Guide / Buying Considerations

1. Confirm the system voltage from the single-line diagram — 3.6/6kV, 6/10kV, 8.7/15kV or 12/20kV.
2. Size the conductor from load current, route length and permitted voltage drop; share motor ratings and run lengths for feeder checks.
3. Confirm the armor duty — where impact, crushing, vibration or dragging risk is real, GSWB (CJPF96/SC) is the heavy-duty choice; for lighter mechanical duty with screen continuity emphasis, compare CJPF86/SC (TCWB).
4. Check weight and bending radius — the steel braid adds mass and stiffness; verify tray fill, gland plates and installation space.
5. State your class society (CCS, DNV, ABS, LR, BV, RINA) so approval scope can be verified before ordering.
6. Provide quantity, drum lengths and destination port for packing and freight planning.

A cable schedule or a photo of existing cable marking is enough for an accurate quotation.

FAQ

Q1: What does "96" stand for in CJPF96/SC?
9 denotes the galvanized steel wire braid (GSWB) armor, and 6 denotes the SHF1 halogen-free flame retardant thermoplastic outer sheath. The red color is the standard sheath color for this range.

Q2: Is this cable individually screened?
Yes. Each core carries an extruded semiconductive conductor screen, XLPE insulation and an extruded semiconductive insulation screen with copper tape over it — a fully screened MV construction under the armor.

Q3: When should I choose CJPF96/SC over CJPF86/SC?
Both are armored screened MV types. Choose CJPF96/SC (GSWB) where mechanical exposure is severe — impact, crushing, vibration or contact with moving steelwork. Choose CJPF86/SC (TCWB) where lighter mechanical protection with a non-magnetic, highly conductive braid is preferred. Our team will recommend based on your route description and class requirements.

Q4: What flame performance does the "/SC" suffix confirm?
The cable is supplied as low smoke halogen free (LSHF) flame retardant, tested to IEC 60332-3-22 Category A in the bunched configuration. The TDS states the exact test report references.

Q5: Can you support class type approval, and how do I get documents?
Approval from CCS, DNV, ABS, LR, BV and RINA is available for applicable types and confirmed per project. TDS and test reports are provided through the contact page.
