Bostrig™ Type P Signal Cable (16 and 14 AWG)

Bostrig™ Type P Signal Cable (16 and 14 AWG)
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 & 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 

Construction: 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. 

Shield: An aluminum/polyester tape with drain wire, 100% coverage, is applied over each twisted pair and the cabled core. The single-pair construction has only the overall shield and the drain wire. 

Jacket: Flame-Retardant thermosetting CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene) in accordance with the requirements of IEEE1580-2010. Arctic Neoprene (Type N) is also available as an option.
