Frequently Asked Questions About (N)SHTOEU Reeling Cables

Is (N)SHTOEU Suitable for Horizontal Reeling?

It can be used, but it is specifically optimized for vertical reeling. For purely horizontal systems, other designs may be more cost-effective.


Can Fiber Optics Be Added Later?

No. Fiber optics must be integrated during manufacturing to ensure mechanical protection and signal integrity.


Is GOST-R Certification Important?

Yes, especially for projects involving Eurasian markets or equipment sourced from Russia-aligned standards.


How Do I Select the Right Core Configuration?

Selection depends on:

  • Power requirements

  • Control signal count

  • Data transmission needs

  • Mechanical load

Always match core count and cross-section to actual operating conditions.


Why Choose (N)SHTOEU for Vertical Spreader Operations?

If your project requires:

  • High mechanical endurance

  • Reliable vertical reeling

  • Power + control + data in one cable

  • Compliance with DIN VDE 0250-814

Then (N)SHTOEU is a technically proven and economically sound choice.
