Reeling Cable, 6/10kV
Reeling Cable
Optical Fiber, Round Type Medium Voltage 6/10kV
Reeling Cable is an industrial cable designed for cable reel systems that require continuous winding and unwinding as equipment travels. It is widely used in port and container handling equipment, including ship-to-shore (STS) cranes, rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes, and rail-mounted gantry (RMG) cranes, as well as ship unloaders, stacker-reclaimers, and other bulk material handling equipment.
The cable designs adapted to repeated bending, tensile loads, and, where applicable, torsional stress. In port and coastal environments, reeling cables may also need to withstand humidity, salt-laden air, and other demanding operating conditions.
As a custom reeling cable manufacturer, RouLine supply power reeling cables and medium voltage reeling cables configured for different travel distances, operating voltages, reel systems, and installation conditions. Conductor configurations, insulation, reinforcement, and outer sheath materials can be tailored to the mechanical and environmental requirements of each application.

FAQs
1. What is a reeling cable used for?
Reeling cables are used in cable reel systems on cranes, ship unloaders, stacker-reclaimers, and other mobile industrial equipment requiring reliable power transmission during repeated winding and unwinding.
2. Which industrial applications require reeling cables?
Reeling cables are commonly used in port cranes, ship-to-shore cranes, rubber-tyred gantry cranes, rail-mounted gantry cranes, ship unloaders, stacker-reclaimers, and bulk material handling systems.
3. What should be considered when selecting a reeling cable?
Key factors include operating voltage, cable travel distance, reeling speed, bending radius, tensile load, torsional stress, installation method, and environmental conditions. These factors help determine the appropriate cable structure and materials.
4. Which materials are used for reeling cable insulation and sheathing?
Reeling cables can use materials such as EPR, rubber, PUR, or other specially formulated compounds, depending on voltage rating, flexibility, abrasion resistance, temperature range, and operating environment.
5. Can reeling cables be customized for port cranes and bulk material handling equipment?
Yes. Custom reeling cables can be configured with different conductor sizes, power and control cores, voltage ratings, reinforcement layers, and outer sheath materials to meet specific equipment and operating requirements.
6. Are reeling cables suitable for humid and salt-laden coastal environments?
Yes, when designed with suitable insulation, protective sheathing, and mechanical reinforcement. Reeling cables for ports and coastal facilities should be selected to withstand moisture, salt-laden air, repeated movement, and other site-specific conditions.
7. What is the difference between reeling cables and festoon cables?
Reeling cables are wound onto and unwound from cable drums, while festoon cables are typically suspended on trolleys along a track. The choice depends on the equipment's cable management system, travel path, and movement requirements.
