Description

MSHA/UL Type G 2kV Portable Mining Cable | Oil/Water Proof Flexible Trailing Cable | 3/4 Conductor Heavy Duty Power

Product Overview

Type G 2kV Mining Cable delivers reliable, high-flexibility power in demanding industrial environments. Rated for 2000 volts, this UL and MSHA approved cable is engineered for grounded three-phase AC systems requiring exceptional durability, environmental resistance, and continuous operation in harsh conditions.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Superior Environmental Resistance: Exceptional performance against oil, water, solvents, corrosives, UV radiation, aging, cuts, tears, and abrasions. Rated for continuous submersion in shallow water.

  • Optimized Flexibility: Rope-lay stranded copper conductors and EPR insulation ensure outstanding flexibility for dynamic mining applications.

  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Designed for demanding service in mining, tunneling, quarries, and industrial sites with portable power requirements.

  • Easy Installation: Non-conductive mylar tape separator enables clean, hassle-free stripping during termination.

  • Permanent Identification: Embossed jacket marking provides clear traceability (UL, MSHA, Type G).
