Application

NSSHOEU is the heavy trailing cable: EPR cores under a tough PCP sheath, notch- and abrasion-resistant for cranes, conveyors and mobile equipment in the harshest settings. Supplied to order; the lead time is stated in the quote.

NSSHOEU (NSSHOEU-O / NSSHOEU-J) is a heavy rubber trailing cable to DIN VDE 0250-812, rated 0.6/1 kV, for connections subject to very high mechanical stress. The fine-wire class 5 copper conductors are EPR-insulated, laid up and enclosed by a rubber inner sheath and a tough polychloroprene (PCP) outer sheath. It is used as a connecting and trailing cable for cranes, conveyors, hoists and mobile equipment in surface and underground mining, on building sites, in heavy industry, indoors and outdoors. The cable is oil-, ozone-, chemical- and abrasion-resistant with high notch resistance.

Applications

  • Trailing and connecting cable for cranes, conveyors and hoists.
  • Construction sites, mining and heavy industry, indoors and outdoors.

What to look out for

  • Repair sheath damage straight away with a vulcanising kit; otherwise moisture creeps under the sheath and the cable deteriorates quickly.
  • For reeling with torsion choose NSHTOEU.

Which one do I choose?

NSSHOEU or NSHTOEU?

NSSHOEU

  • heavy trailing cable
  • without anti-torsion braid

NSHTOEU

  • built for reels
  • with anti-torsion braid

NSSHOEU is the heavy trailing cable: EPR cores, a rubber inner sheath and a tough, notch-resistant PCP sheath, for cables dragged along behind machines. NSHTOEU adds an anti-torsion braid and is built for reels that wind and unwind all the time. If the cable goes onto a drum or motorised reel, it is NSHTOEU. If it is mainly dragged along, NSSHOEU.

NSSHOEU or H07BN4-F?

NSSHOEU

  • German VDE 0250-812
  • 0.6/1 kV

H07BN4-F

  • harmonised, EN 50525-2-21
  • 450/750 V

NSSHOEU follows the German VDE 0250-812 and is built for 0.6/1 kV. H07BN4-F is harmonised to EN 50525-2-21 and is 450/750 V. Both are heavy rubber cables for very high mechanical stress, in mining, on building sites and on cranes and conveyors. If the specification calls for 0.6/1 kV or a VDE cable, NSSHOEU is the choice; if it calls for a harmonised cable, H07BN4-F.
