Trailing & towing
Heavy polychloroprene (NP) rubber sheath resists dragging across steel non-skid weather decks, hatch coamings and drydocks.
Product
DPNP (2-Core), TPNP (3-Core) and FPNP (4-Core) JIS C 3410 Flexible Shipboard Rubber Cable (0.6/1 kV) constructed with Class 5 flexible tinned copper conductors, 90 °C EP-rubber ('P') insulation, cabtyre fabric reinforcement and.
Typical values for this cable type, based on JIS C 3410 / IEC 60092-353 / ClassNK — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
Heavy-duty flexible marine cabtyre cable for portable submersible bilge/cargo pumps, weather-deck maintenance tools, gangway lighting, searchlights and vibration-isolated shipboard machinery.
Heavy polychloroprene (NP) rubber sheath resists dragging across steel non-skid weather decks, hatch coamings and drydocks.
Withstands salt spray, UV sunlight, bunker oil splashes and -30 °C winter deck conditions.
Absorbs multi-axis vibration on resiliently mounted marine compressors, fans and deck cranes.
Suitable for festoons and portable reels; for high-speed automated drag chains use PUR drag-chain cable.
Construction
DPNP / TPNP / FPNP (JIS C 3410) showing flexible Class 5 tinned copper conductors, 90 °C EP-rubber ('P') core insulation, rubber/jute cabtyre cradle filler, textile reinforcing tape, and heavy-duty black polychloroprene ('NP') outer sheath.
