In the modern industrial landscape, mobile cranes, container cranes, and large-scale moving equipment demand cables that can withstand extreme mechanical, electrical, and environmental stresses. One such high-performance solution is the (N)TSCGEWOEU Medium Voltage Reeling Cable, designed to deliver reliability, flexibility, and longevity under the harshest operating conditions. But what makes this cable stand out, and why is it increasingly adopted in Indonesia’s industrial and port sectors?

What Is a Medium Voltage Reeling Cable?

A medium voltage reeling cable is a specialized power and control cable capable of carrying medium-voltage electrical energy while being continuously moved, coiled, and uncoiled, often over long distances and at high speeds. Unlike standard fixed cables, reeling cables are engineered to endure:

  • High mechanical stresses

  • Frequent bending in multiple planes

  • Torsional forces

  • Abrasion and churning on rollers

The (N)TSCGEWOEU is specifically designed for mobile equipment such as container cranes, large industrial machinery, and other dynamic applications, making it an optimal choice for ports, factories, and heavy industries in Indonesia.
