TYPE P CABLE

Type P Cable is a highly specialized, robust electrical cable designed for extreme industrial conditions. It is engineered to withstand high temperatures, oils, chemicals, and crushing forces, making it ideal for the toughest environments. This premium cable ensures reliable power and signal transmission in critical applications.

Type P Cable is crucial for reliable power in the toughest industrial settings. Its primary applications include:

• Offshore and Onshore Drilling Rigs: Withstanding drilling mud, constant vibration, and mechanical stress.
• Marine Environments: Used on shipboards and fixed or floating facilities, resisting saltwater corrosion and extreme temperatures.
• Petrochemical Facilities: Designed to endure exposure to oils, chemicals, and hazardous (classified) locations.

Type P Cable's construction provides exceptional durability and performance in harsh conditions. Key features include:

• Resistance: Excellent resistance to high temperatures, oil, chemicals, abrasion, moisture, sunlight, and drilling mud.
• Mechanical Strength: Built to resist crushing, impact, and constant vibration.
• Cold Durability: Exceeds cold bend and cold impact requirements, performing reliably in temperatures as low as -40°C.

Our Type P marine cables meet strict offshore and maritime requirements, including IEEE 1580, UL 1309, and CSA C22.2 No. 245 standards. They are ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) approved for installation on marine vessels, FPSOs, and offshore drilling rigs.

Wire America supplies Type P Cable in both armored and unarmored constructions, each suited for different installation needs. Unarmored Type P cable provides high flexibility for general power and control runs in protected raceways or conduit. Armored Type P cable includes a flexible bronze or aluminum basket-weave armor over the jacket, offering extreme mechanical protection against crushing, abrasion, and physical impact without sacrificing bend radius.
