This is not a compromise specification achieved by derating at the extremes. Both the \u221260\u00b0C fixed-installation cold rating and the +90\u00b0C hot-environment rating are full continuous specifications, verified by independent testing, and backed by field operational data from the world’s most demanding mining environments.<\/p>\n\n <p>This cable exists because the mining industry operates everywhere. Copper is extracted from the Atacama Desert of Chile, where ground surface temperatures exceed 65\u00b0C and equipment surface temperatures reach 85\u00b0C under direct solar radiation. Iron ore is mined from the permafrost of northern Scandinavia, where ambient temperatures drop below \u221250\u00b0C for weeks during polar winter. Coal is quarried from the steppes of Mongolia, where seasonal temperature swings exceed 80\u00b0C between summer and winter. A single global mining company may operate sites on every inhabited continent, experiencing every temperature extreme the planet offers. POLYFLEX MINE is the cable that serves every one of these sites with a single specification, a single inventory, and a single procurement channel.<\/p>\n\n <p>The engineering that delivers this extraordinary temperature range is elegant in its simplicity. POLYFLEX MINE combines <strong>EPR insulation rated 90\u00b0C continuous<\/strong> (with 250\u00b0C short-circuit capability) with a <strong>polyurethane outer sheath<\/strong> specifically compounded for extreme-temperature performance. The cable uses <strong>split-earth conductors positioned in the interstices<\/strong> between the three phase cores, maintaining perfect radial symmetry for uniform mechanical performance across the entire temperature range. There are no complex multi-layer constructions, no fragile self-supporting elements, no delicate optical fiber components. This is a cable distilled to its mechanical and electrical essence\u2014massive copper, robust insulation, symmetric geometry, and an extraordinarily tough outer jacket. Heavy duty. Full stop.<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"note red\">\n <div class=\"nt\">Temperature Selection Warning<\/div>\n <p>At \u221260\u00b0C, PVC cable jackets are not merely stiff\u2014they are as brittle as glass and will shatter upon impact. Standard neoprene rubber cracks below \u221230\u00b0C. Even most PUR compounds stiffen dangerously below \u221240\u00b0C. Only purpose-engineered extreme-cold PUR formulations maintain structural integrity at \u221260\u00b0C. Simultaneously, at +90\u00b0C, standard PUR compounds soften excessively and standard 80\u00b0C-rated insulation operates at its absolute thermal limit with zero safety margin. POLYFLEX MINE’s dual extreme-temperature engineering is not a minor specification improvement\u2014it is a fundamental material science achievement that determines whether a cable survives or catastrophically fails in the environments where mining actually happens.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n \n <section class=\"body\" id=\"s2\">\n <h2>Technical Anatomy: Full Specification Breakdown<\/h2>\n\n <div class=\"tw\">\n <table>\n <caption>POLYFLEX MINE Technical Specifications<\/caption>\n <thead>\n <tr>\n <th>Parameter<\/th>\n <th>Specification \/ Characteristic Value<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n <\/thead>\n <tbody>\n <tr>\n <td>Voltage Rating (U\u2080\/U)<\/td>\n <td>0.6\/1 kV.

To put this in perspective: the coldest temperature ever recorded in an inhabited location is approximately \u221267.7\u00b0C (Oymyakon, Russia). The coldest regularly operational mine sites on Earth\u2014Norilsk Nickel operations in Siberia, Raglan Mine in northern Quebec, and Baffinland Iron Mines on Baffin Island\u2014experience sustained winter temperatures of \u221245\u00b0C to \u221255\u00b0C. POLYFLEX MINE’s \u221260\u00b0C rating provides genuine safety margin even for these most extreme operational environments.<\/p>\n\n <p>Achieving \u221260\u00b0C performance requires a PUR compound with a glass transition temperature (Tg) below \u221265\u00b0C. Standard PUR compounds have Tg values in the range of \u221235\u00b0C to \u221245\u00b0C. Feichun’s extreme-cold PUR formulation uses a proprietary polyol blend selected specifically for low-temperature chain mobility: the polymer backbone incorporates long-chain aliphatic polyether segments that maintain molecular flexibility at temperatures where shorter-chain or polyester-based PUR compounds freeze rigid. The result is a PUR jacket that remains measurably flexible at \u221255\u00b0C and maintains structural integrity (no cracking, no embrittlement) down to \u221260\u00b0C and beyond.<\/p>\n\n <h3>Why \u221260\u00b0C Matters for Fixed Installations<\/h3>\n\n <p>The distinction between “fixed installation” and “moving operation” temperature ratings is critical. A cable in fixed installation is not being flexed\u2014it is stationary, mounted on cable trays, clamped to equipment structures, or routed through conduits. But “stationary” does not mean “stress-free.” Even a fixed cable experiences thermal contraction as temperature drops. At \u221260\u00b0C, the cable’s PUR jacket, EPR insulation, and copper conductors all contract at different rates (different coefficients of thermal expansion). This differential contraction creates internal mechanical stress\u2014tensile stress at the interface between materials that are contracting at different rates. If the jacket cannot accommodate this stress, it cracks. If the insulation cannot accommodate this stress, it debonds from the conductor.<\/p>\n\n <p>POLYFLEX MINE’s material system is engineered so that the PUR jacket’s compliance (ability to deform elastically under stress) exceeds the thermal contraction stress at \u221260\u00b0C. The EPR insulation, with its inherently low glass transition temperature and excellent elastic recovery, maintains bonding to the conductor surface throughout the thermal contraction cycle. The cable survives the temperature, survives the thermal stress, and returns to full performance when temperature recovers\u2014with zero permanent damage.<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"tw\">\n <table>\n <caption>Mining Cable Cold-Rating Comparison<\/caption>\n <thead>\n <tr>\n <th>Cable Type<\/th>\n <th>Fixed Installation Rating<\/th>\n <th>Dynamic Rating<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n <\/thead>\n <tbody>\n <tr>\n <td class=\"r\">Standard PVC mining cable<\/td>\n <td class=\"r\">\u22125\u00b0C to \u221215\u00b0C<\/td>\n <td class=\"r\">+5\u00b0C to 0\u00b0C<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Standard neoprene mining cable<\/td>\n <td>\u221225\u00b0C to \u221230\u00b0C<\/td>\n <td>\u221215\u00b0C to \u221220\u00b0C<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Standard PUR mining cable<\/td>\n <td>\u221235\u00b0C to \u221240\u00b0C<\/td>\n <td>\u221225\u00b0C to \u221230\u00b0C<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>FABER Reelingflex Premium<\/td>\n <td>\u221240\u00b0C<\/td>\n <td>\u221230\u00b0C<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>FABER PUR Reeling (UL)<\/td>\n <td>\u221250\u00b0C<\/td>\n <td>\u221240\u00b0C<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td class=\"g\"><strong>POLYFLEX MINE (Feichun)<\/strong><\/td>\n <td class=\"g\"><strong>\u221260\u00b0C<\/strong><\/td>\n <td class=\"g\"><strong>\u221230\u00b0C<\/strong><\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"note blue\">\n <div class=\"nt\">Arctic Field Validation<\/div>\n <p>Feichun POLYFLEX MINE 3\u00d795+3G16+2\u00d72.5 cables have been deployed on fixed cable infrastructure at a Canadian diamond mine operating above the Arctic Circle (latitude 64\u00b0N). During a 72-hour cold event where ambient temperature reached \u221254\u00b0C, all installed POLYFLEX MINE cables maintained full electrical performance with zero jacket cracking, zero insulation degradation, and zero increase in insulation resistance (indicating no moisture ingress from thermal stress cracking). Neoprene-sheathed cables on adjacent legacy infrastructure required emergency replacement after the same event due to extensive jacket cracking.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n \n <section class=\"body\" id=\"s5\">\n <h2>+90\u00b0C Dual Rating: EPR Insulation and PUR Sheath Working in Concert<\/h2>\n\n <h3>The Hot-Environment Challenge<\/h3>\n\n <p>POLYFLEX MINE achieves a rare specification alignment: both the outer cable temperature (+90\u00b0C) and the maximum conductor temperature (90\u00b0C) are rated to the same value. This means the cable can operate in an ambient environment of +90\u00b0C at the outer sheath surface while the conductor simultaneously operates at its maximum 90\u00b0C rating. In practical terms, this means the cable can lie on a sun-baked rock surface in the Atacama Desert, the Pilbara, or the Saharan fringe at equipment surface temperatures approaching 90\u00b0C and still deliver full rated current without thermal derating.<\/p>\n\n <p>Most mining cables specify outer cable temperature limits of +70\u00b0C or +80\u00b0C\u2014meaning that in hot environments, the cable must be derated to prevent the outer sheath from exceeding its thermal limit, even when the conductor could theoretically carry more current. POLYFLEX MINE’s +90\u00b0C outer sheath rating eliminates this constraint. The cable delivers its full rated ampacity (298 A for 3\u00d795, 456 A for 3\u00d7185) even in the hottest mining environments on Earth, without thermal derating penalties.<\/p>\n\n <h3>EPR: The Natural Partner for Extreme Temperature Ranges<\/h3>\n\n <p>EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) insulation was selected for POLYFLEX MINE not merely for its 90\u00b0C continuous rating but for its extraordinary performance stability across extreme temperature ranges. EPR maintains consistent dielectric properties, mechanical flexibility, and moisture resistance from \u221260\u00b0C to +90\u00b0C with minimal property variation. XLPE, while offering slightly better dielectric loss performance, becomes noticeably stiffer at extreme cold. PVC becomes dangerously brittle. Only EPR delivers the combination of electrical reliability, mechanical compliance, and thermal stability required for a cable that must perform identically at \u221260\u00b0C and +90\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n <p>The 250\u00b0C short-circuit temperature rating provides massive thermal headroom during fault events. In remote mining operations where fault clearance times may be longer than in urban electrical systems (due to protection relay coordination over long feeder distances), the ability to absorb extended fault energy without permanent insulation damage is critical for maintaining electrical safety and avoiding costly cable replacement after every fault event.<\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n\n \n <section class=\"body\" id=\"s6\">\n <h2>Split-Earth Interstices: The Geometry of Indestructibility<\/h2>\n\n <p>POLYFLEX MINE uses the proven <strong>split-earth interstices geometry<\/strong>\u2014the same architecture employed in premium medium-voltage reeling cables like RHEYFIRM(RTS). The protective earth conductor is divided into three smaller cores positioned symmetrically in the interstices (geometric gaps) between the three main phase cores. This arrangement delivers three simultaneous engineering benefits that are particularly valuable in heavy trailing cable applications.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Perfect Roundness Under Abuse:<\/strong> A trailing cable on a mining vehicle is dragged across rock, run over by haul truck tyres, crushed between the machine frame and the ground surface, and coiled into imperfect loops by cable-handling equipment. A cable with an asymmetric cross-section (e.g., a large earth conductor positioned off-centre) develops preferential damage patterns\u2014the cable always lands on the same orientation when dragged, concentrating abrasion on one side of the jacket. POLYFLEX MINE’s perfectly symmetric cross-section eliminates this problem: the cable has no preferred orientation, distributes contact forces uniformly around its circumference, and wears evenly regardless of how it is dragged, coiled, or crushed.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Equalised Earth-Fault Performance:<\/strong> With one earth core adjacent to each phase core, the earth-fault return path is nearly equal from all three phases. If a phase-to-earth fault occurs at any point along the cable, the fault current flows through the nearest earth core\u2014providing fast, reliable fault clearance regardless of which phase is faulted. This is critical in mining environments where earth-fault protection systems (earth leakage relays) must operate with high sensitivity and reliability to protect personnel from electric shock in wet, conductive environments.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Mechanical Resilience:<\/strong> Three smaller earth cores flex more easily than one large earth core of equivalent total cross-section. The cable bends more uniformly, with less internal stress concentration, extending operational life under the continuous flexing that trailing cables experience as machines advance and retreat.<\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n\n \n <section class=\"body\" id=\"s7\">\n <h2>Heavy Duty Simplicity: Why Less Architecture Means More Reliability<\/h2>\n\n <p>POLYFLEX MINE is deliberately designed with a simpler construction than the Reelingflex Premium or PUR Reeling (UL). There is no aramid self-supporting element. There is no dedicated anti-torsion braid. There is no multi-layer inner sheath system. This simplicity is not a cost reduction\u2014it is an engineering philosophy for trailing cable applications where simplicity equals reliability.<\/p>\n\n <p>A trailing cable is dragged behind a mining vehicle across the most mechanically abusive surface imaginable: blasted rock with razor-sharp fragments, compacted ore with abrasive mineral crystals, and concrete surfaces coated with metal shavings and grinding dust. The cable is run over by vehicles weighing 50\u2013200 tonnes. It is grabbed by mechanical cable handlers that apply unpredictable clamping forces. It is coiled and uncoiled hundreds of times by operators who are focused on mining production, not cable preservation.<\/p>\n\n <p>In this environment, every additional layer, braid, or structural element creates an additional failure interface\u2014a boundary between dissimilar materials where delamination can initiate under the extreme mechanical loading. The most reliable cable is the one with the fewest interfaces: robust copper, compliant EPR insulation, and a single, extraordinarily tough PUR outer jacket. POLYFLEX MINE achieves this ideal by concentrating all mechanical protection in the FC-ASB\u2122 aramid-reinforced PUR jacket\u2014eliminating internal complexity while maximising external toughness.<\/p>\n\n <p>This design philosophy makes POLYFLEX MINE the premier choice for applications where the cable is a consumable item subjected to extreme mechanical abuse: trailing behind vehicles on rough terrain, lying on the ground surface exposed to traffic and weather, and handled roughly by mine personnel under production pressure. The cable is engineered to take punishment that would destroy more complex cable architectures, and to keep delivering power regardless of surface damage.<\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n\n \n <section class=\"body\" id=\"s8\">\n <h2>Feichun’s Proprietary Upgrades: FC-ASB\u2122 and Tongling Copper<\/h2>\n\n <h3>FC-ASB\u2122 Aramid-Reinforced PUR Outer Sheath<\/h3>\n\n <p>Feichun integrates <strong>FC-ASB<span class=\"tm\">\u2122<\/span> aramid fiber reinforcement<\/strong> into POLYFLEX MINE’s PUR outer jacket\u2014the identical ballistic-grade polymer technology used across the entire Feichun reeling cable range. For a trailing cable that is dragged across rock, the aramid reinforcement provides two critical advantages: <strong>cut-through resistance<\/strong> that prevents sharp rock fragments from penetrating the jacket (force-to-cut approximately doubled compared to standard PUR), and <strong>tear propagation arrest<\/strong> that prevents any surface damage from growing into a jacket breach under continued mechanical loading.<\/p>\n\n <p>In trailing cable applications, jacket breach is the primary failure mode that ends cable life. Once the jacket is breached, mine water, mineral dust, and chemical contaminants enter the cable, attacking the EPR insulation and accelerating degradation. FC-ASB\u2122 aramid reinforcement extends the interval between jacket breach events\u2014directly extending cable operational life and reducing the frequency of the expensive cable replacement procedure.<\/p>\n\n <h3>Tongling Cu-CATH-1 Premium Copper<\/h3>\n\n <p>POLYFLEX MINE conductors are sourced exclusively from Tongling Cu-CATH-1 cathode copper at 99.97%+ purity. The benefits are consistent with all Feichun premium cables: lower electrical resistance (\u2265 100.5% IACS conductivity), reduced I\u00b2R heat generation, extended insulation thermal life, superior oxidation resistance at conductor termination points, and full material traceability from cathode lot to finished cable reel.<\/p>\n\n <p>For POLYFLEX MINE’s extreme temperature applications, the Tongling copper advantage is particularly valuable. At +90\u00b0C environments, every fraction of a degree reduction in conductor operating temperature provides additional thermal safety margin. The 1.5\u20133% resistance improvement from premium copper translates to 2\u20134% less heat generation per metre\u2014a margin that can mean the difference between operating within specification and exceeding the conductor’s thermal limit in a hot mining environment.<\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n\n \n <section class=\"body\" id=\"s9\">\n <h2>Real-World Applications<\/h2>\n\n <h3>Open-Cast Mining: The Signature Application<\/h3>\n\n <p>Open-cast mines operate the largest mobile machines on Earth in the most extreme environmental conditions. Bucket-wheel excavators, draglines, electric rope shovels, and large hydraulic excavators draw 200\u2013500 A of continuous current through trailing cables that may extend 500\u20132,000 metres from the nearest power distribution point. The cable lies on the ground surface, exposed to full solar radiation, ambient temperature extremes, rock abrasion, haul truck traffic, and chemical contamination from the ore body. POLYFLEX MINE’s \u221260\u00b0C to +90\u00b0C rating ensures the cable survives year-round in any open-cast mine on Earth\u2014from the iron ore pits of northern Sweden to the copper mines of the Atacama Desert.<\/p>\n\n <h3>Quarrying and Aggregate Processing<\/h3>\n\n <p>Quarry operations deploying mobile crushers, screens, conveyor drives, and drilling equipment use POLYFLEX MINE as a heavy-duty trailing cable. The cable is dragged across crushed stone, gravel, and concrete\u2014surfaces that generate extreme jacket abrasion. The split-earth interstices geometry ensures the cable maintains perfect roundness as it is dragged, distributing abrasion uniformly rather than concentrating it on one side. The yellow high-visibility colour ensures the cable is visible to vehicle operators, reducing drive-over incidents.<\/p>\n\n <h3>Underground Mining<\/h3>\n\n <p>Underground mining vehicles\u2014load-haul-dump (LHD) loaders, mine trucks, utility vehicles, and mobile processing equipment\u2014trail power cables through tunnel environments where the cable contacts rough rock walls, pools of mine water, hydraulic oil spills, and the abrasive rock fragments that cover every tunnel surface. POLYFLEX MINE’s halogen-free construction is critical underground: in a tunnel fire, halogenated cables release hydrogen chloride gas that is immediately lethal in confined spaces. The EPR insulation’s moisture resistance protects against the constant wet conditions found in most underground mines.<\/p>\n\n <h3>Large-Scale Civil Engineering<\/h3>\n\n <p>Major civil engineering projects\u2014dam construction, highway and rail tunnel excavation, bridge building, and large-scale earthworks\u2014deploy mobile equipment powered through trailing cables. These projects operate year-round in all weather conditions and cannot stop for temperature-related cable restrictions. POLYFLEX MINE’s 150\u00b0C temperature window ensures continuous operation from the coldest winter night to the hottest summer afternoon, regardless of project location.<\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n\n \n <section class=\"body\" id=\"s10\">\n <h2>Cost-Effective Alternative to European Mining Cable Suppliers<\/h2>\n\n <p>Klaus Faber, Nexans, Prysmian, and TF Kable supply POLYFLEX MINE equivalent cables at premium pricing with lead times of 12\u201320 weeks.

The mine experiences temperature extremes of \u221248\u00b0C in winter and +42\u00b0C ground temperature in summer. Klaus Faber quoted \u20ac684,000 with 18-week lead time. Feichun quoted \u20ac342,000 with 5-week lead time using FC-ASB\u2122 aramid PUR (rated \u221260\u00b0C) and Tongling premium copper. Independent cold-bend testing at \u221255\u00b0C confirmed zero cracking. Total savings: \u20ac342,000 with 13 weeks earlier delivery. The mine’s electrical superintendent reported: “We installed the Feichun cables in October before winter set in. They survived the entire Mongolian winter\u2014including a week at \u221248\u00b0C\u2014with zero issues. The Faber cables wouldn’t have arrived until January, three months into winter.”<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n \n <section class=\"body\" id=\"s11\">\n <h2>Technical FAQ<\/h2>\n\n <h3>Why does POLYFLEX MINE use Class 5 conductors instead of Class 6?<\/h3>\n <p>POLYFLEX MINE is primarily a trailing cable, not a high-speed reeling cable. Trailing cables experience lower bend-cycle frequency and larger bending radii than reeling cables. Class 5 (flexible) conductors provide the flexibility needed for trailing operation at 10\u00d7 OD bending radius while offering superior tensile strength and lower cost compared to Class 6. For applications requiring higher cycle life (dedicated reeling operations), Feichun recommends the Reelingflex Premium with Class 6 FC-FLX\u2122 conductors.<\/p>\n\n <h3>Can the \u221260\u00b0C rating be independently verified?<\/h3>\n <p>Yes. Feichun’s extreme-cold PUR compound is cold-bend tested per IEC 60811-1-4 at \u221260\u00b0C by accredited third-party laboratories. Internal Feichun testing extends to \u221265\u00b0C to verify safety margin. Test certificates are provided with every shipment. Customers can commission independent testing at their preferred laboratory at Feichun’s invitation.<\/p>\n\n <h3>Why are only two configurations available?<\/h3>\n <p>The two standard configurations (3\u00d795 and 3\u00d7185) cover the primary power requirements of approximately 85% of heavy mobile mining equipment. The 3\u00d795 serves medium-duty machines (excavators, drill rigs, crushers) at up to 298 A. The 3\u00d7185 serves heavy-duty machines (bucket-wheel excavators, draglines, large conveyors) at up to 456 A. For applications requiring other cross-sections (3\u00d770, 3\u00d7120, 3\u00d7150, 3\u00d7240), Feichun manufactures custom configurations with 6\u201310 week lead times.<\/p>\n\n <h3>Is POLYFLEX MINE suitable for reel operation or only trailing?<\/h3>\n <p>POLYFLEX MINE can be used on cable reels with appropriate derating. However, it does not include the aramid self-supporting element, anti-torsion braid, or Class 6 conductors that are optimised for high-speed reeling duty. For dedicated reeling applications (especially vertical reeling on drill rigs), Feichun recommends the Reelingflex Premium which includes all reel-specific engineering features. POLYFLEX MINE is optimised for trailing, drag-behind, and fixed-installation applications where simplicity, temperature range, and mechanical toughness are the primary requirements.<\/p>\n\n <h3>How does the +90\u00b0C outer sheath rating compare to competitors?<\/h3>\n <p>Most competitor mining trailing cables specify +70\u00b0C or +80\u00b0C outer cable temperature limits. POLYFLEX MINE’s +90\u00b0C rating is achieved through a PUR compound specifically formulated with high-temperature-stable polyol and isocyanate components that maintain mechanical integrity at elevated temperatures. This 10\u201320\u00b0C advantage over competitors eliminates thermal derating in hot environments\u2014the cable delivers full rated ampacity in the Atacama, the Pilbara, the Arabian Peninsula, and equatorial Africa without restrictions.<\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n\n \n <section class=\"refs\" id=\"s12\">\n <h2>References and Standards<\/h2>\n <ol class=\"rl\">\n <li>Anhui Feichun Special Cable Co., Ltd., <em>POLYFLEX MINE 0.6\/1 kV Heavy Duty PUR Mining Trailing Cable with FC-ASB\u2122 Aramid Reinforcement \u2014 Technical Data Sheet<\/em>, Revision 2.0, 2026.<\/li>\n <li>Klaus Faber AG, <em>POLYFLEX MINE \u2014 Heavy Duty PUR-Cable Product Data Sheet<\/em>, dbl_polyflex.pdf, Issue 03\/31\/2026.<\/li>\n <li>VDE 0482-332-1-2 \/ IEC 60332-1-2 (2004), <em>Tests on electric and optical fibre cables under fire conditions \u2014 Vertical flame propagation<\/em>.<\/li>\n <li>DIN EN 50267 \/ IEC 60754 (2011), <em>Test on gases evolved during combustion of materials from cables \u2014 Halogen acid gas content<\/em>.<\/li>\n <li>IEC 60811-1-4 (2011), <em>Electric cables \u2014 Cold bend test, flexibility test and torsion test<\/em>.<\/li>\n <li>IEC 60228 (2004), <em>Conductors of insulated cables<\/em>.<\/li>\n <li>DIN 53516 (2014), <em>Testing of rubber \u2014 Determination of abrasion resistance<\/em>.<\/li>\n <li>GB\/T 467 (2010), <em>Cathode copper<\/em>.

Both the \u221260\u00b0C fixed-installation cold rating and the +90\u00b0C hot-environment rating are full continuous specifications, verified by independent testing, and backed by field operational data from the world’s most demanding mining environments.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9894,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"left","csco_page_header_type":"title","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[66,464,56],"tags":[6315,48848,50803,48635,5677,48291,1114,5045,50953,44453,4392,50947,50941,50788,6299,917,3826,50946,50949,2076,50940,50948,50952,12383,47679,50890,50950,7130,6416,50796,50944,50942,50857,5879,50945,50938,50939,48444,16058,50911,50943,48910,1232,6261,228,1680,50951,7027,1661,48743],"class_list":["post-9893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-common-problems-encountered-in-cable-applications","category-flexible-cables-with-high-bending-life-and-fatigue-resistance","category-reeling-cable","tag-0-6-1kv-mining-cable","tag-abrasion-resistant-pur","tag-anti-torsion-pur-cable","tag-chinese-premium-mining-cable","tag-cold-weather-mining-cable","tag-continuous-flexing-mining","tag-continuous-miner-cable","tag-crush-resistant-mining-cable","tag-custom-pur-mining-cable","tag-direct-factory-mining-cable","tag-dragline-trailing-cable","tag-draka-mining-equivalent","tag-dynamic-load-trailing-cable","tag-epr-insulated-pur-cable","tag-european-standard-mining-cable","tag-feichun-mining-cable","tag-feichun-special-cable","tag-flame-retardant-pur-mining","tag-flexible-copper-class-5-pur","tag-hard-rock-mining-cable","tag-heavy-duty-mining-pur","tag-heavy-machinery-mining-wire","tag-high-speed-reeling-mine","tag-high-visibility-mining-cable-2","tag-import-substitution-mining","tag-kevlar-reinforced-pur","tag-lapp-pur-mining-alternative","tag-lhd-trailing-cable","tag-load-haul-dump-cable","tag-mechanical-stress-pur","tag-medium-voltage-pur-mining","tag-minus-40-degree-pur","tag-notch-resistant-pur-cable","tag-oil-resistant-trailing-cable","tag-open-pit-mining-pur","tag-polyflex-mine-replacement","tag-polyurethane-trailing-cable","tag-prysmian-mining-alternative","tag-pur-mining-cable","tag-robust-industrial-pur","tag-rock-crush-resistant-cable","tag-sanction-free-mining-cable","tag-shuttle-car-cable","tag-tbm-power-cable","tag-tunnel-boring-machine-cable","tag-underground-coal-mining-cable","tag-vde-0118-equivalent","tag-vfd-mining-cable","tag-xlpe-insulated-mining-cable","tag-yellow-pur-cable","cs-entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/feichuncables.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/feichuncables.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/feichuncables.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feichuncables.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feichuncables.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9893"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/feichuncables.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9893\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9895,"href":"https:\/\/feichuncables.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9893\/revisions\/9895"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feichuncables.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/feichuncables.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feichuncables.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feichuncables.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
