MV Reeling Cable Non FO -Red 3.6/6kV – 12/20kV | Standard Power-Only Reeling Cable

MV Reeling Cable Non FO -Red is the power-only variant of the TEBAOFLEX medium voltage reeling cable range, designed for applications requiring MV power transmission without integrated fibre optics. Featuring a distinctive red 5GM5 outer sheath, 3 power + 3 earth core configuration, EPR 3GI3 insulation, and polyester anti-torsion braid, it delivers reliable power to mobile mining and port equipment where data communication is handled by a separate system. Manufactured to VDE 0250-813, it offers the same mechanical ratings as the FO variant at a lower cost per meter.

MV Reeling Cable Non FO -Red — TEBAOFLEX Power-Only MV Reeling Cable

Why Choose Non FO

Not every application needs fibre optics in the power cable. For many mining and port operations, data communication is handled by wireless systems, separate control cables, or existing fibre infrastructure. Choosing the Non FO variant eliminates the cost premium and minimum order quantity associated with integrated fibre optics while maintaining identical power transmission and mechanical performance.

When to Specify Non FO -Red

Scenario Recommendation
Existing wireless data network on site Non FO — no need to pay for unused fibre
Separate control cable already installed Non FO — keep power and data independent
Short cable length, low data requirement Non FO — lower cost, faster delivery
FO variant minimum order too high Non FO — available in shorter lengths
Project budget constraint Non FO — same power rating, lower cost
