Cordaflex® (N)SHTOEU (SMK)-V-S
Not every STS crane needs ETFE insulation, 56 cores, or integrated fiber optics. The vast majority of the world’s operational STS crane fleet — thousands of cranes at hundreds of terminals — uses a simple, proven, 36-core control cable on the spreader reel. That cable is the Cordaflex® (N)SHTOEU (SMK)-V-S: a single-configuration workhorse with basic EPR insulation that every port electrician can strip and terminate using standard tools, a 36×2.5 + protective conductor core count that covers the circuit requirements of standard (non-automated) spreaders, and a construction that shares the premium vertical-rated architecture (Class FS, aramide, PCP rubber, ±50°/m torsion) of its more exotic siblings.
