While it doesn't have a metal cage (armor), the Type P jacket is incredibly tough. It is made of a dense, cross-linked material that acts like a rugged skin. It is designed to be walked on and dragged across steel decks without the insulation inside failing. However, in areas where heavy tools might be dropped on the cable, it is usually tucked into a protective tray.
No cable is totally fireproof, but this one is Flame Retardant. If it gets caught in a fire, it is designed to "self-extinguish" once the flame source is removed. It also produces very little smoke, which is critical on a ship or rig where smoke inhalation is a major danger to the crew during an evacuation.
You can bend it, but you should follow the "Minimum Bend Radius" rule. Because 10 AWG conductors are thick and the Type P jacket is dense, you shouldn't bend it tighter than about 6 to 8 times its own diameter. If you "kink" the cable too sharply, you can stress the internal copper or cause the insulation to thin out over time, which might lead to a failure years down the road.
Yes. When this cable passes through a bulkhead (a ship's wall) or enters a junction box, you must use Marine Terminal Glands. Since this is the Unarmored version, you don't need the complex grounding glands used for armored cables, but you do need "Liquid-Tight" glands that squeeze the outer jacket to keep water and oil from leaking into your electrical equipment.
In the cramped, unventilated spaces of an offshore rig or a ship's engine room, temperatures can skyrocket. A 110°C (230°F) rating means the cable can handle more "internal heat" caused by heavy electricity flow while sitting in an already hot room. This extra 20-degree cushion prevents the cable from "cooking" itself from the inside out during 24/7 operation.
