The rubber hose cable NSSHÖU-J 5X16 from Faber Kabel is a special cable designed for use under extreme mechanical stress. It is particularly suitable for applications in underground mining, open-pit mining, construction sites, and industry. The cable can be used in both dry and damp rooms as well as outdoors and is also suitable for fixed installation, with specific operating conditions to be defined on a case-by-case basis.

Applications

The cable is designed for environments where high mechanical stresses, such as tension, pressure, bending, or abrasion, occur. It is frequently used in heavy industry, construction operations, and mining technology, where high mechanical strength and durability are required. Outdoor use is possible, as the cable is also resistant to weather influences such as moisture and temperature fluctuations.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The cable features five conductors, each with a cross-section of 16 mm². The conductors are made of tinned copper stranded wire of fine-strand class 5, ensuring high flexibility and longevity under frequent bending and tension loads. The conductors are insulated with a rubber compound according to VDE 0207 T. 20 and marked in accordance with VDE 0293-308. The conductors are stranded with optimal lay lengths, enabling even distribution of mechanical stress and improved bending strength.

Technology Explained Simply

The outer sheath is made of a rubber compound according to VDE 0207 T. 21 and is yellow in color. This color serves as a visual identifier and is typical for heavy-duty cables. The cable is rated for a nominal voltage of 0.6/1 kV, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. The test voltage is 3 kV, confirming the electrical strength under test conditions. The insulation resistance is 20 MΩ·km at 20 °C, ensuring high insulation quality and low leakage currents.

The cable can be installed at laying temperatures from -20 °C to +80 °C. After installation, it is suitable for operating temperatures from -40 °C to +80 °C, with a maximum operating temperature of 90 °C. The minimum bending radius is 5 times the cable diameter for free installation, enabling flexible handling. The cable is oil-resistant according to VDE 0472 T. 803, test type A, and has flame-retardant properties according to VDE 0482-332-1-2 (IEC 60332-1). The fire behavior corresponds to VDE 0472 T. 804, test type B (equivalent to IEC 332-1), ensuring limited flame spread.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cable is suitable for use with standard connectors, cable lugs, and other connection elements rated for a nominal voltage of 0.6/1 kV. The yellow color of the outer sheath is an identifier for heavy-duty cables and supports identification during use. The cable can be combined with other cables of the same type to achieve longer connections.

Installation and Mounting

Installation must take into account the intended operating conditions. Laying is possible at temperatures between -20 °C and +80 °C. During installation, the minimum bending radius of 5 times the cable diameter must be observed to avoid damage. The cable is suitable for fixed installation, with specific conditions to be checked on a case-by-case basis.

Advantages in Operation

The cable is characterized by high mechanical strength, oil resistance, and flame-retardant properties. The use of tinned copper stranded wire of class 5 ensures long service life even under frequent bending and tension loads. The high insulation quality and limited flame spread increase operational safety. The yellow color of the outer sheath facilitates identification and marking during use.
