The PRYSMIAN Cordaflex® (N)SHTÖU (SMK)-V is the most configuration-diverse vertical spreader cable without fiber optics — offering six distinct configurations that span three fundamentally different spreader architecture types. Where the (SMK)-V-S offers a single 36×2.5 configuration and the REEL XPRT offers four standard configurations, the (SMK)-V delivers six configurations including two that exist nowhere else in the Klaus Faber catalogue: a 49×1.0 signal-only variant for spreaders with dedicated power cables, and a 20×2.5+3×CAN-BUS+2×(2×2.5)C variant with integrated digital fieldbus communication and screened control pairs.

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.

SPREADERFLEX REEL XPRT (N)SHTOEU is the copper-only counterpart of the Cordaflex (SMK)-V-FO — sharing the same Class FS conductors, aramide self-supporting element, PCP rubber sheath, and 240 m/min vertical reeling capability, but without integrated fiber optics. It is designed for the large installed base of STS crane spreaders that do not require fiber optic communication — spreaders using copper-only control signals, or cranes where fiber optic data is provided through a separate dedicated cable or wireless link.

3GSLTOE has been a staple in port automation for years, the XPRT designation signifies a modern evolution in the cable's outer Polyurethane (PUR) sheath and internal slip-layers. When terminal operators are pushing Megamax Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes to their absolute maximum cycles, the cable must coil into the basket flawlessly, hour after hour, without the outer jacket generating friction, heat, or static cling.

Spreaderflex® 3GSLTOE

Spreaderflex® 3GSLTOE is the most technologically complete basket cable in the Feichun port crane portfolio—the cable that integrates every innovation developed for vertical basket festoon operation into a single, unified structure. Where the SPREADERFLEX BSKT XPRT SYSLTOE FO adds fiber optics but uses thermoplastic insulation, and the TRATOSCOILFLEX uses rubber construction but omits screening—the 3GSLTOE combines lead-ball aramid self-supporting (for wind-proof plumb drop and zero-elongation suspension), bundle stranding (for zero-twist coiling), tinned copper braid EMC screening (for VFD noise immunity), Class FS ultra-flexible conductors (for millions of basket fold cycles), EPR 3GI3 rubber insulation (for the most robust dielectric performance), and PUR outer sheath (for the widest temperature range and lowest surface friction)—all in one cable.

SPREADERFLEX BSKT XPRT SYSLTOE FO is the most specialised cable in the entire port crane electrification portfolio—a 0.6/1 kV composite power and fiber optic basket festoon cable engineered by Anhui Feichun Special Cable Co., Ltd. exclusively for the vertical basket festoon systems that connect container crane spreaders to the trolley structure. No other application on Earth subjects a cable to this specific combination of mechanical stresses: the cable must hang vertically under its own weight for up to 50 metres, fold and unfold inside a guide basket as the spreader rises and descends, travel at speeds up to 160 m/min during container lift and lower cycles, and simultaneously carry up to 48 copper conductor cores for power and control alongside up to 18 optical fibers for high-speed data communication—all without tangling, twisting, kinking, or damaging the fragile glass fibers.
