Bostrig™ Type P-MR Power Cable

Bostrig™ Type P-MR Power Cable
Product description

Bostrig Type P Mud-Resistant Cable is primarily designed for power, control, signal, and instrumentation for marine vessels and offshore production facilities. Instead of Polychloroprene (Neoprene), they are sheathed in our proprietary elastomeric formulation, which is not only mud-resistant but is qualified as a Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) cable in accordance with IEEE 45 and IEEE 1580. 

This mud-resistant jacket is designed for use in areas where ester-based drilling muds and fluids are present. These cables are listed by ETL in accordance with IEEE 45 and type-approved by DNV as resistant to NOVA Plus, Petrofree LE, and Petrofree drilling muds and fluids. The cable was tested in accordance with NEK 606 for 56 days at 70°C in each of the ester-based muds mentioned above. 

This product can also be manufactured in an unarmored version. 

Multiconductor power, control, and instrumentation cables are also available.
