In modern industrial operations, particularly in crane systems and material handling facilities, cable reliability is non-negotiable. (N)GRDGOEU and (N)GRDGCGOEU low voltage chain cables are engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of energy chain systems while maintaining electrical integrity and mechanical resilience. But what exactly sets these cables apart from conventional power and control cables? How do they perform in outdoor environments, long travel applications, and high-speed operations?
What Are (N)GRDGOEU and (N)GRDGCGOEU Chain Cables?
(N)GRDGOEU and (N)GRDGCGOEU are flexible power and control cables designed for energy chain applications, commonly referred to as "chain cables." They are particularly suited for cranes, stacking systems, indoor and outdoor material handling equipment, and other machinery requiring dynamic, frequent motion.
(N)GRDGOEU: Standard low voltage cable, available in single-core, multicore, and control configurations.
(N)GRDGCGOEU: Screened version, providing enhanced electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) protection, critical in sensitive industrial environments.
Both cable types are certified according to DIN VDE 0250-814 and GOST-R, ensuring compliance with European and Russian electrical standards, which reflects global reliability and safety benchmarks.
Where Are These Cables Used in Indonesia?
Energy chain cables are vital in industries such as:
Port Cranes: Large container handling cranes in Tanjung Priok, Jakarta, rely on (N)GRDGOEU cables for smooth, reliable operation over long travel distances.
Warehousing & Material Handling: Automated warehouses in Surabaya use multicore control and screened cables to ensure accurate communication between conveyor systems.
Outdoor Stacking Cranes: Screened cables (N)GRDGCGOEU handle UV exposure and heavy mechanical loads in palm oil and cement industries.
Indonesian case studies highlight their long service life and minimal downtime, even in tropical climates with high humidity and intense sunlight.
What Do Users Frequently Ask About (N)GRDGOEU / (N)GRDGCGOEU?
Can these cables operate outdoors in tropical climates?
Yes. Both series are UV, ozone, and moisture resistant, performing reliably in Indonesia’s hot, humid conditions.
What is the difference between (N)GRDGOEU and (N)GRDGCGOEU?
(N)GRDGCGOEU includes a tinned copper braid screen, providing EMC protection and shielding sensitive control/data signals.
How flexible are these cables?
The finely stranded conductors and high-quality EPR/EVA sheaths allow for frequent bending in energy chains at speeds up to 240 m/min.
Can I use these cables for long crane travel distances?
Yes, but speed may need to be adjusted depending on the total chain length to ensure trouble-free operation.
What types of applications are most common?
Single-core for power, multicore for power/control, screened for EMC-sensitive areas, and fiber optic bus cables for data transfer.
How do they compare with standard industrial cables?
Feature | (N)GRDGOEU / (N)GRDGCGOEU | Standard Industrial Cable |
|---|---|---|
Flexibility | High, for chain systems | Low to moderate |
Abrasion resistance | Excellent | Moderate |
EMC protection | Optional (screened) | Usually absent |
Outdoor suitability | UV, moisture, ozone resistant | Often indoor use only |
Max travel speed | Up to 240 m/min | Limited |

How to Optimize Your Cable Selection for Energy Chains?
When selecting a chain cable, consider:
Travel distance and speed of the crane or machine.
Number of cores and power/control requirements.
Environmental exposure (UV, moisture, oil, chemicals).
EMC requirements for control or data cables.
Installation constraints, such as bending radius and permissible tensile force.
Following these guidelines ensures optimal cable life and system efficiency.
