Conductors: 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 drain wire.

Jacket: Flame-Retardant Thermosetting CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene) in accordance with the requirements of IEEE- 1580-2010. Thickness as shown in tables on opposite page. Arctic Neoprene (Type N) also available as an option.

Applications:
• 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, allowing for higher ampacity levels. These cables also meet cold bend requirements of -40°C and cold impact of -35°C (CSA 22.2 N0. 0.3).
• This product may be manufactured in an unarmored or armored and sheathed version.

Features/Ratings:
• Superior resistance to oil, abrasion, moisture, sunlight, mud, crush and impact
• High strand count conductors provide superior flexibility
• Higher allowable conductor operating temperature results in increased ampacity
• Cold bend/ cold impact of -40°/ -35°C in accordance with CSA 22.2 No. 0.3
• Flame retardant in accordance with IEEE 1202 and IEC 60332-3-22 Category A
• Meets IEEE standards for 600V and performance requirements of IEC standards for 0.6/1 kV
• Unarmored cables suitable for Class 1, Division 2 and Zone 2 hazardous locations offshore
• Meets the requirements of UL 1277 and UL 1569 for Type TC-ER exposed runs
