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) 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:
RHINOSHIELDTM 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.
