Technical Specifications


In fast-moving industrial operations, selecting the right reeling cable is crucial. The (N)TSCGEWOEU High-Performance Mobile Reeling Cable is engineered to handle extreme mechanical stresses while providing reliable power for cranes, stacker-reclaimers, container handling equipment, and large-scale industrial machinery.

What Is the Structure of the (N)TSCGEWOEU Reeling Cable?

The (N)TSCGEWOEU cable’s design prioritizes flexibility, durability, and safety. Understanding its structure explains why it withstands mechanical and environmental stress better than standard mobile cables.

Conductor and Conductor Screen

The phase and earth conductors are composed of tinned annealed stranded copper wires, Class 5, according to VDE 0295 and IEC 60228, ensuring excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion. Each conductor is shielded with an inner semiconductive rubber compound and tape, which improves electrical stability and reduces the risk of partial discharges.

Insulation and Insulation Screen

High-grade EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) insulation ensures excellent dielectric properties, mechanical resilience, and heat resistance. For most voltage classes above 1.8/3 kV, an extruded outer semiconductive layer surrounds the insulation, enhancing performance and making stripping easier during installation.

Core Arrangement

This is a three-core cable where the earth conductor is split into three segments, placed between the phase cores. This arrangement ensures uniform stress distribution and minimizes electromagnetic interference. The conductors are left-hand stranded, which optimizes torsional performance during reeling applications.

Inner and Outer Sheaths

The inner sheath is a durable rubber compound (quality ≥ 5GM3, VDE 0207-21), while the outer sheath (≥ 5GM5) protects against abrasion, oil, water, and UV exposure. Between the sheaths lies a polyester thread reinforcement braid, bonded by vulcanization to significantly increase tensile strength and durability.

What Are the Typical Applications in Indonesia?

Indonesia’s industrial and port infrastructure increasingly relies on high-speed cranes, container terminals, stacker-reclaimers, and mining machinery, where cable failure can lead to operational downtime or safety incidents. Real-world applications include:

  • Container cranes at Tanjung Priok Port: The cable supports continuous movement over 150 m/min at high torsion angles.

  • Large-scale industrial machinery in Java: Ensures stable power supply for automated production lines with heavy mechanical stress.

  • Coal and mineral loading systems in Kalimantan: High abrasion and vertical travel loads require robust reeling cables.

In all cases, the cable’s oil, UV, and water resistance makes it ideal for Indonesia’s tropical and industrial environments.


FAQ Section

Can this cable be used for vertical lifts?

Yes. Its design supports vertical reeling and torsion stresses, making it suitable for cranes and platform lifts.

How long can the cable last under continuous operation?

With proper installation and routine inspections, typical service life ranges 10–15 years, depending on environmental exposure and mechanical stress.
