Engineered for continuous reeling and drum operation under high mechanical stress, the NSHTÖU reeling cable serves mining, open-pit excavation, construction, cranes, and other continuously moving machinery. Its EPR-insulated cores and neoprene outer jacket deliver long service life across dry, humid, and wet environments, backed by dual CE and UL certification.
Key Features
Built for Continuous Reeling & Harsh Environments
The NSHTÖU reeling cable is purpose-designed for horizontal drum operation, combining a rugged neoprene jacket with high dielectric strength for demanding mining, construction, and machinery applications.
Continuous Reeling Operation
Designed for horizontal drum/reel operation with a maximum allowable travel speed of 120 m/min.
Neoprene Outer Jacket
Extremely cold-resistant chloroprene (neoprene) jacket resists ozone, radiation, oil, acid, gasoline, solvents, and chemicals.
Dual CE + UL Certification
Certified to both European CE and North American UL standards for global project compatibility.
Wide Operating Range
Rated -40°C to +80°C for fixed installation and -35°C to +80°C for mobile/reeling operation.
High Dielectric Strength
Tested at 30,000V, with minimum insulation resistance of 10 MOhm×km, rising to 20 MOhm×km after radiation exposure testing.
Configurable Grounding
Available with (G) or without (x) a yellow/green ground protection core to match project requirements.

Construction & Configuration
Rubber-Insulated Reeling Cable Structure
The NSHTÖU reeling cable layers a tinned copper, EPR-insulated core with anti-twist reinforcement and a dual rubber sheath system built for repeated drum operation.
Tinned Copper Conductor (Class 5)
Class 5 tinned copper conductor per DIN VDE 0295, BS 6360, and IEC 60228 provides flexibility for repeated reeling.
EPR Rubber Core Insulation
EPR rubber (3GI3) insulation per DIN VDE 0207 Part 20 provides reliable dielectric performance.
Core Color Identification
Cores of 5 or fewer use distinct color coding; 6 or more cores use black with continuous white numbering.
Anti-Twist Fabric Braid Reinforcement
A woven fabric braid embedded in the inner filling sheath prevents cable twist during repeated reeling.
Rubber GM1b Inner Sheath
An inner rubber sheath per DIN VDE 0207 Part 21 adds a further layer of mechanical protection.
Neoprene Outer Sheath (5GM2)
A chloroprene rubber outer sheath per DIN VDE 0207 Part 21 provides cold resistance and protection against ozone, oil, and chemicals.
