Key Features and Benefits
The FeiChun (N)SHTÖU-J Port Crane Cable is designed to solve several critical challenges faced by industries that rely on high-speed, high-stress machinery, such as port cranes, stacker/reclaimers, container cranes, and ship unloading equipment. Below are the primary features and the problems they solve:
1. High Flexibility for Complex Movements
Flexible construction:
The cable’s flexible class 5 construction (IEC 60228) ensures it can withstand frequent bending, torsion, and high-speed movement. Whether it's moving along a festoon system or coiling around cable reels, this cable maintains its performance and extends the life of your equipment.
Short lay length:
The short lay length of the core arrangement enhances flexibility and allows for better torsion resistance during operation.
2. Advanced EMC Optimization
EMC-optimized design:
The EMC-optimized design ensures minimal electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is particularly important in sensitive environments where signal integrity is crucial. This is achieved by integrating tinned copper braid screens for individual cores and pairs, providing effective shielding against external electromagnetic noise.
Compliance with international standards:
This cable complies with the latest EMC regulations, making it suitable for use in applications where signal transmission and power delivery must coexist without interference.
3. Superior Mechanical Protection
Antitwisting element:
The synthetic yarns embedded between the inner and outer sheaths prevent the cable from twisting, reducing the likelihood of damage and increasing the cable’s overall lifespan.
Durable outer sheath:
The outer sheath is made of a polychloroprene rubber compound that is resistant to UV radiation, oil, and chemicals. This ensures long-lasting protection, even in harsh outdoor environments and during exposure to high temperatures and corrosive substances.
4. High-Speed and High-Acceleration Resistance
Maximum working speed:
The cable is designed to support speeds up to 180m/min, allowing your equipment to operate at peak performance without the risk of cable damage.
High tensile strength:
With a tensile load of 30 N/mm², the cable can withstand significant pulling forces, ensuring reliable operation even in environments with high mechanical stresses and frequent acceleration.
5. Temperature and Environmental Resistance
Wide temperature range:
This cable operates efficiently across a broad temperature range, with a maximum working temperature of 90°C and a minimum ambient temperature of –40°C (mobile condition). This ensures that the cable performs reliably in extreme environments, whether hot or cold.
Oil and chemical resistance:
The cable’s materials are designed to withstand exposure to oils, solvents, and other chemicals, making it suitable for use in industries like port operations, shipping, and manufacturing.

Installation Guidelines
Proper installation of the FeiChun (N)SHTÖU-J Port Crane Cable is crucial to ensure its optimal performance and longevity. Below are some essential guidelines for correct installation:
1. Bending and Routing
Bend radius: Ensure the cable is bent according to its minimum bending radius to prevent damage. A sharp bend can affect the cable’s performance, causing mechanical stress and potential failure.
Straight runs: When possible, try to lay the cable in straight runs to minimize strain and maximize its lifespan.
2. Storage and Handling
Proper storage: Always store the cable in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight, chemicals, or heat sources. Ensure that it is kept on a reel or spool to avoid kinking or tangling.
Handling: Handle the cable with care during installation, avoiding sharp pulls that could stretch or damage the core. Use appropriate tools like cable pullers to ensure smooth installation.
3. Environmental Considerations
Exposure to elements: This cable is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, but proper installation in sheltered areas or protection with cable trays can help extend its life.
Oil or chemical exposure: If the cable is installed in an area with high exposure to oils or chemicals, ensure that the outer sheath is intact and resistant to the specific substances in the environment.
