(N)TSCGEWOEU-SR FO — TEBAOFLEX Heavy-Duty MV Reeling Cable with Integrated Fibre Optics

(N)TSCGEWOEU-SR FO is a heavy-duty medium voltage reeling cable with integrated fibre optics, designed for extreme mechanical stress applications requiring both power transmission and real-time data communication. Manufactured by TEBAOFLEX to VDE 0250-813, the SR variant features a 3 power + 2 earth core configuration with dual fibre optic bundles, supporting reeling speeds up to 180 m/min, a wide temperature range down to -50°C, and tensile loads up to 20 N/mm². It is the preferred cable for fast-moving container cranes, large material handling machines, and open-pit mining equipment where separate power and data cables on a single drum are impractical.

(N)TSCGEWOEU-SR FO 3.6/6kV – 18/30kV MV Heavy-Duty Reeling Cable with Integrated Fibre Optics | TEBAOFLEX VDE 0250-813

What SR FO Means

SR designates the heavy-duty reinforced variant optimized for extreme mechanical stresses including high travel speeds, dynamic tensile loads, multiple directional changes, and torsional stress. FO indicates integrated fibre optic elements for combined power and data transmission in a single cable assembly.
