Modern container ports operate Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes and massive gantry systems that demand unprecedented electrical power delivery. A typical STS trolley requires 18 kV to 30 kV of main power to lift 65-ton containers at speeds exceeding 600 meters per minute. This power must flow through a festoon cable system—a continuous loop of cable that unwinds and rewinds thousands of times per day as the trolley travels back and forth along the boom. Traditional round cables cannot solve this problem efficiently. A round medium voltage cable, rated for 18/30 kV, becomes rigid and difficult to bend. It occupies excessive space in the festoon track, requiring long parking lengths and increasing the footprint of the crane's electrical infrastructure. By contrast, a flat cable lays its massive phase cores side-by-side in a single plane, allowing for an incredibly tight bending radius—sometimes as small as 10 to 15 centimeters—while maintaining full electrical power delivery. This single geometric advantage reduces festoon track length by up to 40 percent, enabling faster crane acceleration and dramatically improving container terminal throughput.

FABER® Reelingflex

When you examine the spectrum of industrial reeling cables available in the market today, you encounter a clear categorization. On one side, there are cables designed for permanent outdoor installation—like the TROMMELFLEX NSHTÖU-J with its heavy neoprene sheath and decade-long lifespan. On the other side, there are cables designed for protected indoor environments where fire safety is paramount, such as the TROMMELFLEX PUR-HF. But there exists a third category of application that neither pure outdoor nor pure indoor cables are optimally suited for, and this is where the FABER Reelingflex finds its purpose.

A definitive engineering specification guide for port electrical engineers, crane automation integrators, and terminal procurement teams who need to specify, source, or replace the 24G2.5 (24×2.5 mm²) multi-core control reeling cable — the critical signal backbone of modern container crane automation systems. This document covers every layer of the cable's construction from the inside out: Class 5 and Class 6 tinned copper stranding options per IEC 60228, the precisely optimised stranding pitch (lay length) that equalises tensile stress across all 24 cores during dynamic bending, 3GI3 EPR versus TPE insulation selection criteria for signal integrity under continuous flexing, the vulcanised anti-torsion braid that prevents the catastrophic "corkscrewing" failure mode unique to high-core-count reeling cables, and the outer sheath decision between 5GM5 polychloroprene (neoprene) for maximum ozone/UV/saltwater resistance and polyurethane (PUR) for extreme mechanical abrasion environments. VDE compliance is mapped to both DIN VDE 0250-814 (rubber-sheathed reeling cables) and DIN VDE 0250-818 (PUR-sheathed reeling cables). Core identification follows IEC 60227 conventions: 23 black cores with white printed numbers plus one green/yellow earth core. Typical applications include PLC I/O signal transmission, twist-lock sensor feedback, limit switch circuits, anti-collision radar interfaces, load-cell data, and 24 VDC auxiliary power distribution on STS (Ship-to-Shore), RTG (Rubber-Tyred Gantry), RMG (Rail-Mounted Gantry), and heavy industrial overhead cranes.

Walk into the procurement office of any major container port or container handling facility, and you will almost certainly encounter discussions about reeling cables for cranes. The conversation often centers around one particular product family: Draka's Buflex XTREME series. Since its introduction in the early 2000s, Buflex XTREME has become the de facto standard for high-speed, space-constrained applications across port machinery—rubber tyred gantry cranes (RTG), ship-to-shore cranes (STS), and mobile harbor equipment. The cable family has earned this reputation through genuine technical excellence: an exceptionally compact outer diameter, remarkable flexibility, and proven durability under continuous flexing stress.
