  • Wide Temperature Range: Operates efficiently in environments ranging from -40°C to +90°C, with a minimum installation temperature of -15°C.

 

 

This article will delve into the cable’s technical specifications, the challenges it addresses, and best practices for installation and maintenance, providing readers with actionable insights.

 

 


The Challenges of Marine Cabling and the FM2XH Solution

 

 

Designed to Withstand the Seas: Addressing Marine Cabling Challenges

Marine cables face several obstacles, including:

 

 

 

Harsh Environmental Conditions

 

 

 

Solution: The FM2XH cable’s halogen-free, flame-retardant outer sheath resists UV exposure, moisture, and mechanical wear, ensuring long-lasting durability.

 

 

Salt Spray and Humidity: Accelerates corrosion and degrades materials.

UV Radiation: Leads to cracking and embrittlement of non-resistant materials.

 

 

 

Temperature Fluctuations: Ranges from -40°C to +90°C in various operational zones.

 

 

Mechanical Stress and Vibration: Frequent movement can weaken connections over time.

 

 

 

 

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

 

 

 

Solution: The cable’s overall copper braided screen, with 90% coverage, effectively shields sensitive circuits from external interference.

 

 

 

Sources: Shipboard systems such as radar, communication devices, and electronic control units can generate significant EMI.

 

 

 

 

Impact: EMI can distort or disrupt signal transmission, leading to equipment malfunctions.

 

 

 

 

Installation Constraints

 

 

 

Solution: The FM2XH cable offers flexible routing capabilities with a minimum bending radius of 4xD (for D ≤ 25 mm) or 6xD (for D > 25 mm).

 

 

 

Tight spaces and complex layouts make routing and installation challenging.

Bending flexibility is essential to navigate confined environments.

Installation Guidelines and Best Practices

 

 

Ensuring Reliable Performance: Installation and Handling

 

 

 

Cable Routing and Handling

 

 

  • Avoid sharp bends; adhere to the bending radius guidelines of 4xD or 6xD, depending on the cable diameter.

 

  • Use cable trays and conduits to secure the installation.

 

  • Keep signal cables separated from power cables to minimize EMI risks.

 

 

Minimum Installation Temperature

 

 

  • Cables must not be installed below -15°C. If unavoidable, warm the cable in a controlled environment before installation.

 

 

Termination and Grounding

 

  • Use IP-rated connectors and EMC glands for marine environments.

 

 

  • Ground the cable screen at one or both ends, depending on system requirements.

 

 


Troubleshooting and Maintenance

 

Maintaining Reliability: Common Issues and Solutions

 

 

 

Issue Possible Cause Solution
Signal degradation Damaged insulation or improper grounding. Inspect and repair as needed.
EMI interference Poor screen continuity or inadequate separation. Verify grounding and cable placement.
Sheath damage Abrasion or UV exposure. Replace the cable or add protective coverings.
