- YJ: Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, suitable for all voltage ranges (low/medium/high voltage)
- V: Extruded PVC inner insulating sheath, used for isolating the shielding layer and armor layer
- 62: Double-layer austenitic stainless steel wire spiral armor + black marine-grade salt spray resistant PVC outer sheath; the core difference from YJV32 galvanized steel wire armor is that the stainless steel armor completely avoids corrosion failure under long-term salt water and salt spray environments.
- Voltage Coverage: 0.6/1kV low voltage, 8.7/10kV, 8.7/15kV medium voltage, 26/35kV high voltage
- Customizable Conductor Configuration: Single core/three core, Grade 2 compacted T2 oxygen-free copper core, cross-sectional area range 16mm²~630mm²
Grade 2 High-Pressure Compacted T2 Oxygen-Free Copper Conductor
High-density round stranded pure copper core, DC resistivity strictly controlled below the national standard upper limit. Ultra-low resistivity suppresses voltage drop during long-distance seabed crossings, offshore risers, and deep-sea foundation power transmission, maintaining stable continuous current carrying capacity under full load. High compactness reduces the overall outer diameter of the cable, saving space for pipeline and cable trench layout for marine engineering construction teams. Uses 100% new oxygen-free copper raw materials, without any recycled copper, ensuring consistent conductivity across all production batches.
Co-extruded Internal Semiconductor Shielding Layer
The uniformly extruded semiconductor layer bonds tightly to the copper core surface, eliminating micro-gaps between the conductor and the cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation layer. This ensures a uniform internal electric field distribution, fundamentally suppressing the risk of partial discharge breakdown under long-term continuous high-voltage operation. It is a key safety structure for the medium-high voltage YJV62 used in offshore wind power booster stations.
XLPE Main Insulation Layer (thickness matched to the corresponding voltage level)
High-purity, ultra-low dielectric loss cross-linked polyethylene composite material. Long-term allowable continuous operating temperature reaches 90℃; short-circuit instantaneous heat resistance temperature can reach 250℃ within 5 seconds, capable of withstanding severe overcurrent impacts during grid short-circuit faults. Under the combined effects of seawater corrosion, axial tension, and radial extrusion, the insulation layer maintains complete structural integrity without cracking or delamination.
Outer co-extruded semi-conductive shielding layer (medium and high voltage models only)
The outer semi-conductive layer is tightly attached to the outer surface of the insulation layer, forming a closed electric field buffer structure in conjunction with the copper strip metal shielding layer. This prevents local electric field concentration caused by cable bending, stretching, and underwater friction during the laying of submarine pipelines.
Continuous Overlapping Copper Tape Metal Shielding Layer (Medium and High Voltage Models Only)
A wide, overlapping soft copper tape shielding layer completely encases each insulating core, effectively conducting induced high-voltage currents and large short-circuit ground fault currents in offshore power grids, isolating internal high-frequency electromagnetic radiation, and preventing signal distortion and interference with adjacent marine monitoring, communication, and fiber optic cables laid alongside submarine pipelines.
Seamless Extruded PVC Liner
An integrated extruded PVC inner sheath encases the insulating core assembly, completely isolating the internal metal shielding layer from the external stainless steel wire armor layer, preventing seawater, coastal salt spray, alkaline sediments, and marine microorganisms from corroding the internal metal components and XLPE insulating core.
Double-Layer Austenitic Stainless Steel Wire Armor (Core Advantages Superior to YJV32 Galvanized Steel Wire)
Two layers of staggered, overlapping high-strength austenitic stainless steel wire are wound in a uniform spiral structure. The double-layer steel wire structure simultaneously improves axial tensile strength and radial compressive strength; the stainless steel material has zero risk of corrosion under long-term seawater immersion and high-salt spray environments, completely solving the fatal defect of galvanized steel wire armor corrosion and perforation in marine environments. Precisely controlled winding gaps prevent the stainless steel wire edges from scratching the lining during long-distance underwater traction and multi-angle bending construction.
Marine-grade UV-stabilized saltwater resistant PVC outer sheath
Utilizing a special marine-grade modified composite material outer sheath, this sheath features enhanced waterproofing and an antibacterial formula. It offers excellent resistance to seawater immersion, chloride ion corrosion, UV aging, and marine organism adhesion. Suitable for direct subsea burial, offshore vertical riser laying, coastal rock foundation trenches, dockside underground pipelines, and semi-outdoor coastal cable duct installation.
- ZA/ZB/ZC-YJV62: Multi-level flame retardant type, suitable for enclosed offshore integrated pipeline corridors, coastal chemical industrial parks, and underground dock commercial complexes.

- Super-strong saltwater resistant reinforced outer sheath: Customized for deep-sea subsea pipeline crossings and offshore wind turbine vertical riser cables.
- Low-temperature resistant marine sheath: Suitable for high-latitude cold sea area ports and offshore wind power projects.
- Anti-marine biofouling special sheath: Suitable for long-term underwater static laying of subsea pipelines.
- Rated AC Operating Voltage: 0.6/1kV, 8.7/10kV, 8.7/15kV, 26/35kV Three-phase Marine Power Distribution System
- Power frequency withstand voltage, lightning impulse withstand voltage, and partial discharge performance fully comply with GB/IEC standards, consistent with conventional YJV series cables of the same voltage rating.
- Ultra-low dielectric loss design reduces cable self-heating loss during 24-hour continuous full-load operation of offshore wind power booster stations and heavy-duty dock equipment.
- Minimum Allowable Bending Radius: 15 times the outer diameter of the finished cable
- Axial Tensile Load Capacity: Double-layer stainless steel wire armor can withstand the self-weight traction load of long-distance vertical risers and submarine pipelines, with vertical laying depths reaching hundreds of meters, requiring no additional external traction protection structure; its tensile fatigue resistance is far superior to single-layer YJV32 galvanized steel wire armor.
- Static Heavy-Load Compression Resistance: Passes the national standard marine cable compression destructive test; the insulation layer shows no cracking, delamination, or permanent deformation, and can resist seabed rock compression and accidental impact damage from anchors.
- Laying Environment Temperature Standard: Standard model construction environment ≥0℃; low-temperature customized version supports laying at -20℃, requiring no preheating treatment.
- Torsion Fatigue Resistance: The double-layer interlaced spiral steel wire structure disperses the torsional force generated during long-distance submarine pipeline traction, effectively preventing damage from internal cable misalignment.
- Design service life under subsea burial and coastal salt spray conditions: Over 45 years, far exceeding that of YJV32 galvanized steel wire armored cables.
- Accelerated salt spray aging test: Passed a 10,000-hour continuous salt spray corrosion test; the armor layer showed no rust, and the sheath showed no deterioration.
- Long-term seawater immersion resistance: Passed a 100-meter continuous vertical seawater immersion aging test; suitable for long-term static pipeline laying in brackish water estuaries and deep-sea subsea areas.
- Chemical corrosion resistance: Resistant to long-term corrosion from marine chloride ions, alkaline substances in coastal soil, chemical residues at docks, and marine microbial secretions.
- UV aging resistance: Supports long-term semi-outdoor coastal cable duct laying; the sheath showed no cracking, powdering, or insulation performance degradation.

The core difference between YJV62 and YJV22 steel tape armor and YJV32 single-layer galvanized steel wire armor lies in its double-layer stainless steel armor structure. Galvanized steel wire gradually corrodes and perforates after years of salt spray and seawater immersion, leading to insulation leakage and circuit failure. In contrast, YJV62 austenitic stainless steel armor has natural passivation and rust-preventing properties, and the double-layer winding further enhances structural safety margins, fundamentally solving the problem of core corrosion failure in marine power cables. Design engineers prioritize YJV62 in all offshore wind power, subsea crossing, and port core power supply projects to avoid frequent subsequent cable replacements.
This product combines axial tensile strength and superior seawater corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both vertical offshore wind turbine riser installations requiring high tensile forces and long-term submersion of subsea pipelines in seawater environments. It eliminates the need for designers to separately configure tensile protection and anti-corrosion auxiliary pipelines. This simplifies the overall marine engineering power distribution design, reduces the procurement of auxiliary anti-corrosion materials, and effectively controls the initial construction investment for EPC contractors.
The YJV62 series covers low, medium, and high voltage levels, with single-core and three-core conductor structures and cross-sections ranging from small distribution to heavy-duty main feeders. It can simultaneously meet the power needs of various applications, including low-voltage auxiliary power supplies for offshore platforms, medium-voltage trunk lines for wind farm substations, and high-voltage incoming lines for offshore centralized substations. Marine engineering general contractors can complete the procurement of all special anti-corrosion armored cables for the entire offshore wind power or port renovation project with just one supplier, simplifying procurement classification, incoming material inspection and on-site temporary warehousing management.
The three-core YJV62 uses a flexible, non-hygroscopic elastic filler for overall rounded corner molding, resulting in a smooth outer sheath surface and a low coefficient of friction. In long-distance submarine pipeline and coastal rock-laying projects, compared to irregularly filled armored cables, the overall traction resistance is significantly reduced, lowering the requirements for traction winch equipment and significantly shortening the overall marine cabling construction cycle.
The dedicated double-layer stainless steel wire armored automated production line for YJV62 is equipped with real-time online monitoring equipment to monitor stainless steel wire winding density, double-layer overlap rate, insulation layer thickness, and armor compactness. The tensile strength and corrosion resistance structural parameters of each batch are strictly controlled within a narrow standard tolerance range, avoiding insufficient tensile load on individual cable reels or incomplete double-layer winding, eliminating major safety hazards in submarine and offshore vertical riser projects.
- Marine New Energy Infrastructure: Submarine-buried power transmission cables for onshore-offshore wind farms, power supply cables for wind turbine risers, medium/high voltage main feeders for offshore substations, and offshore distribution lines for floating photovoltaic systems.
- Port and Terminal Construction Projects: Underground power trunk lines for large container terminals, heavy-duty distribution cables for vertical lifting equipment at terminals, power supply lines for coastal rock foundations of ship repair yards, and auxiliary power supply cables for offshore oil platforms.
- Water Crossing Projects: Submarine power cables crossing brackish water areas in estuaries, corrosion-resistant power cables for deep-water pumping stations in coastal reservoirs, and submarine-buried distribution lines for tidal power stations.
- Coastal Heavy Industry Projects: Underground salt spray-resistant trunk cables for coastal chemical industrial parks, power supply lines for vertical workshops in coastal smelters, and power lines buried on steep slopes in coastal open-pit mines.
Case 1: 35kV Submarine Collection Cable Project for Offshore Wind Farm
A 400MW offshore wind power EPC project along the coast selected YJV62 26/35kV three-core stainless steel armored cable for the subsea buried medium-voltage collection line between the wind turbine generator and the onshore substation. The construction environment was characterized by long-term seawater immersion, high chloride ion concentration, and the risk of compression from sharp seabed rocks. The double-layer stainless steel wire armor can withstand the entire weight of the long-distance subsea cable without additional traction protection; its natural rust-proof properties avoid the corrosion failure problems commonly found in galvanized armored cables used in early wind farm projects. The complete marine corrosion protection inspection and CE certification documents provided by our factory passed the third-party marine engineering audit on the first attempt. After 5 years of continuous subsea operation, no problems such as armor corrosion, insulation water leakage, or partial discharge failures have occurred, reducing the annual maintenance cost of the wind farm line by 85%.
Case Study 2: Underground Salt Spray Protection Power System Upgrade Project at a Large International Container Terminal
A major coastal container port underwent a comprehensive power grid upgrade. All underground trunk lines at the terminal were uniformly upgraded to use salt-resistant modified YJV62 8.7/15kV three-core cables. The terminal area experiences high salt spray concentrations year-round, is subject to seasonal tidal erosion, and has significant amounts of residual chemical deposits in the soil. Double-layer stainless steel armor and marine-grade outer sheaths completely blocked chloride ion corrosion, resolving issues such as aging sheaths and armor perforation in the port's original YJV32 galvanized steel wire cables. Complete marine engineering documentation expedited the completion and acceptance process for the port's EPC contractor, ensuring a stable power supply for container cranes, cold storage facilities, and terminal monitoring equipment throughout the year.
Case Study 3: Low-Voltage Submarine Crossing Cable Project for an Estuary Tidal Power Station
A tidal power station's power distribution project specified the use of ZC flame-retardant YJV62 0.6/1kV three-core cables for laying submarine pipelines in a mixed saltwater and freshwater environment. This environment alternates between freshwater and high-salinity seawater, resulting in significant fluctuations in corrosiveness. Single-layer galvanized steel wire armored cables cannot withstand the alternating wet and dry salt corrosion environment, while YJV62 double-layer stainless steel armored cables maintain excellent corrosion resistance even under cyclic corrosion conditions. The flame-retardant modification meets the fire protection design standards for enclosed powerhouses in tidal power stations; the stable and uniform current-carrying capacity of the batch cables ensures uninterrupted power supply to the tidal generator sets and monitoring equipment, reducing equipment downtime losses due to circuit corrosion failures by more than 90%.

- Prioritize Calculations Based on Both Tensile and Corrosion Conditions: For submarine pipelines, offshore risers, and nearshore laying scenarios with year-round salt spray, the cable's self-weight traction tension and environmental salt corrosion level must be calculated in advance to confirm the matching of YJV62 double-layer stainless steel armor. The use of YJV62 galvanized steel wire armored cables as substitutes in long-term underwater and nearshore core power supply circuits is strictly prohibited to avoid the risk of armor rust and cable damage. For submarine laying lengths exceeding 600 meters, please submit the project water depth, total cable length, and load parameters to our internal marine technology team for free verification calculations of tensile load-bearing capacity and corrosion resistance level.
- Voltage and Cross-Section Matching Logic: Select the appropriate low/medium/high voltage level according to the marine power distribution system voltage; match the copper core cross-section according to the transformer capacity, submarine transmission distance, and peak load current, and perform voltage drop simulation for long-distance submarine laying to prevent terminal voltage deviation from exceeding the allowable engineering range.
- Customized matching rules for marine environments: Standard YJV62 is used for ordinary coastal neutral soils; ultra-strong salt water resistant reinforced type is used for deep-sea and estuary seabed crossing projects; flame-retardant/low-smoke halogen-free type is used for enclosed offshore platforms and underground pipeline corridors at wharves; and low-temperature resistant marine sheath type is used for port projects in high-latitude cold sea areas.
- Mandatory Shielding Structure Confirmation: Medium- and high-voltage YJV62 cables used in offshore wind power and port pipeline corridors must maintain a complete and continuous copper tape metallic shielding layer to suppress strong electromagnetic interference to marine monitoring, communication, and fiber optic cables laid in the same pipeline.
- Ambient Temperature Limits: The standard cable laying ambient temperature is ≥0℃; for winter construction in cold sea areas, low-temperature marine-specific sheath models must be selected to avoid brittle cracking of the outer sheath during long-distance submarine pipeline traction and stretching.
- Bending Radius Control Standards: The bending radius for all bends, pipeline penetrations, and offshore equipment terminal connections must be ≥15 times the cable's outer diameter; excessive sharp-angle bends are prohibited to prevent the stainless steel wire armor edges from scratching the inner lining and XLPE insulation layer.
- Anchoring requirements for offshore vertical risers: Special heavy-duty cable anchoring devices should be installed at the upper and lower ends of the wind turbine vertical riser to share part of the long-term tensile load and avoid fatigue damage to the stainless steel wire armor caused by long-term tension at a single point; Sufficient cable slack should be reserved at the offshore booster station and dock distribution cabinet for future underwater terminal maintenance and replacement.
- Submarine Pipeline Sealing and Impact Protection Measures: For submarine buried pipelines, dedicated marine waterproof cable sealing kits should be installed at both ends of the cable to completely prevent seawater from seeping into the cable. For pipeline sections passing through areas where ships are anchored, a thick concrete protective layer should be laid above the cable layer to resist accidental anchoring impacts and seabed rock pressure.
- Multiple Cable Parallel Laying Heat Dissipation Rules: Sufficient heat dissipation gaps should be reserved between parallel YJV62 marine cables to avoid heat accumulation leading to a decrease in actual current carrying capacity. In cable trenches at coastal wharves and in offshore pipeline corridors, isolation barriers should be used to separate high, medium, and low voltage cable laying areas.
- Before initiating acceptance work, verify the batch factory inspection certificate, third-party full-type marine corrosion protection test report, CE marine certification, and copper raw material certificate of conformity.
- After cable laying and marine waterproof terminal production are completed, complete insulation resistance testing, power frequency withstand voltage testing, and long-term partial discharge testing.
- Conduct a continuity test on the double-layer stainless steel wire armor to confirm the integrity of the double-layer anti-corrosion tensile protective metal ring.
- Complete a reliable grounding connection for the stainless steel wire armor and copper strip shielding layer, and test the grounding resistance to ensure compliance with the safety operation specifications for offshore wind power, port, and tidal power station marine power grids.
