Construction:

Conductor:Tin coated, soft drawn, annealed, flexible, rope-lay stranded copper per ASTM B33 and B172
Separator Tape:Semi-conducting tape applied between the conductor and insulation to facilitate stripping
Conductor Shield:Semi-conducting cross-linked copolymer
Insulation:Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR)
Insulation Shield:Strippable semi-conducting cross-linked copolymer
Braid Shield:Tin coated, soft drawn, annealed, copper braid shield (60% minimum coverage), combined with color coded nylon (Black, Blue, Red) or (Black, White, Red) with a 40% maximum coverage
Ground Conductor:Two uninsulated, tin coated, soft drawn, annealed, rope stranded, flexible lay copper per ASTM B33 and B172
Ground Check Conductor:Tin coated, soft drawn, annealed, rope stranded, flexible lay copper per ASTM B33 and B172 with high strength yellow, polypropylene insulation
Filler:Rubber fillers as needed
Reinforcement:Reinforcing twine applied over core
Inner Jacket:Black, mold cured, extra heavy-duty integral fill, flame resistant, thermosetting Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE)
Outer Jacket:Black, mold cured, extra heavy-duty, flame resistant, thermosetting Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE). Alternate jacket colors available
Reflective Stripe:Highly visible reflective stripe embedded into the outer jacket to increase safety and help prevent cable runover (optional, contact your sales representative for part number)

Applications and Features:

RHINOSHIELD^TM Type SHD-GC is a heavy-duty trailing cable where flexibility and maximum protection is required. For use with mobile, reeling, or stationary mining equipment, continuous mining machines, longwall mining systems, and blast hole drillers. It is also an ex- cellent choice for shovels, draglines, dredges, cranes and marine shore-to-ship power supplies, and anytime extra-durable, flexible cable is required. Suitable for continuous submersion in water. Ground check conductor provides fail-safe ground monitoring. Embossed print legend for easy cable identification. Cold Bend and Impact Tested to -50°C. For vertical drop requirements consult with factory application specialist.
