Bostrig™ Type P Power Cable (18 AWG to 1111 MCM)

Bostrig™ Type P Power Cable (18 AWG to 1111 MCM)
Product description

Bostrig™ Type P Marine and Offshore Cable is primarily designed for power, control, signal, and instrumentation applications for offshore and land drilling rigs, marine vessels, and offshore production facilities. 

Bostrig cables have excellent resistance to oil, abrasion, moisture, vibration, sunlight, and ester-based mud (Type P- MR). They are suitable for use in Class 1, Division 1 offshore applications (armored and sheathed). 

The standard insulation has a continuous operating temperature of 125°C, enabling higher ampacity. These cables also meet the cold-bend and cold-impact requirements of -40°C and -35°C (CSA 22.2 N0. 0.3). 

This product may be manufactured in an unarmored or armored and sheathed version.

 

Construction 

Conductor: Soft annealed stranded tinned copper per ASTM B 33. A polyester tape separator is used over the conductor. 

Insulation: Bostrig Type P chemically cross-linked polyolefin (XLPO), meeting IEEE 1580.
