Medium Voltage Flat Reeling Cable with Integrated Optical Fibre (3.6/6 kV to 8.7/15 kV) for High-Speed Crane and Reeling Applications

Product Overview

This medium voltage flat reeling cable with integrated optical fibre elements is engineered for demanding dynamic applications such as cranes, port handling systems, reel drums, and monospiral end-feed systems. Designed for simultaneous transmission of medium voltage power and high-speed data communication, it integrates screened phase conductors and optical fibre technology within a compact flat geometry optimized for continuous motion and high mechanical stress environments.

The cable is suitable for applications requiring high flexibility, torsional resistance, and long operational life under extreme dynamic loading conditions.
