Underground room-and-pillar mining operations present unique challenges for trailing cables. The Komatsu Joy 12HM series continuous miners must navigate through tight corners and confined spaces while maintaining continuous power supply. The trailing cable—connecting the miner to the power distribution system—must bend around right-angle turns, withstand crushing forces from equipment run-over, and maintain electrical integrity through thousands of flexing cycles without failure. 地下房柱式采矿作业对拖缆提出了独特的挑战。小松Joy 12HM系列连续采煤机必须在保持连续供电的同时穿越紧凑的转角和狭窄空间。连接采煤机与配电系统的拖缆必须能够绑过直角弯道，承受设备碾压的压力，并在数千次弯曲循环中保持电气完整性而不发生故障。
