Trailing Cables

If you’ve ever faced cable durability, safety, or performance issues in demanding environments, you’re not alone. In industries where reliability and efficiency are non-negotiable, the right trailing cables can make all the difference. Our trailing cables are designed with robust materials that withstand harsh conditions. Whether exposed to extreme temperatures, chemicals, or mechanical stress, trailing cables are built to last. 

Conductor Material

Tinned Copper, Aluminum, or Silver-Plated Copper 

Insulation Material

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), or Fluoropolymer (FEP)

Voltage Rating

Up to 600V, 1000V, or 1500V depending on cable type 

Temperature Range

-40°C to +90°C, -20°C to +105°C, or -55°C to +125°C 

Fire Resistance

Flame Retardant, Fire Resistant (e.g., UL VW-1, IEC 60332-1) 

Product Description

Flexibility is key for trailing cables to perform optimally in dynamic applications. Trailing cables feature flexible cores and specially designed jackets that allow them to bend and twist without compromising their integrity. This ensures smooth operation and prevents cable damage during movement.

IP67, IP68, or IP69K rated 

UV Resistance

UV-Resistant, Suitable for Outdoor Use (e.g., ISO 4892-2) 

Cross-sectional Area

0.5 mm² to 240 mm² 

Sheath Material

Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), or Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) 

Armoring

Steel Wire Braid, Armored with Copper Tape or Spiral Steel Tape 

Current-Carrying Capacity

Up to 500A, depending on cable size and insulation type 

Flexibility

Highly Flexible, Continuous Flexing (e.g., bend radius of 6x cable diameter) 

Cable Size

Available in standard sizes or custom dimensions based on application 

Outer Diameter

Varies with cable construction; typically between 6 mm to 30 mm 

Mechanical Protection

Impact-Resistant, Abrasion-Resistant, and Crush-Resistant 

Standards Compliance

Complies with IEC 60228, UL 758, ASTM B33, or other relevant industry standards 

Technical Benefits

Trailing cables are manufactured to meet stringent safety standards, including fire resistance and low smoke emissions. They are designed to prevent electrical failures and reduce the risk of hazards, providing efficient critical environments. 

We understand that every application has unique requirements. That’s why we offer custom trailing cable solutions. Frigate’s team works with you to determine the exact specifications needed for your setup, ensuring that you receive cables that fit perfectly your operational demands.

Industrial Applications

Mining equipment

Powering heavy-duty Mining equipment like draglines and drills, trailing cables withstand extreme mechanical stress, abrasion, and exposure to harsh chemicals and moisture. 

Construction Cranes

Designed for Construction Cranes and hoists, these cables endure constant movement and heavy loads and require high tensile strength and flexibility for smooth operation. 

Tunneling and Drilling machines

Built for Tunneling and Drilling machines to resist abrasions, oil, and extreme conditions. 

Automated Manufacturing

In Automated Manufacturing robotics and production lines, trailing cables ensure flexible power and data transmission, engineered for repeated flexing and industrial stress. 

Amusement Park

Flexible and durable for Amusement Park power moving rides, engineered for outdoor conditions like weather, UV, and mechanical impact. 

Wind Turbines

Trailing cables connect Wind Turbines’ rotating blades to static systems, featuring high torsion resistance and flexibility for constant motion in harsh environments. 

Cost-Effective Performance

Trailing cables are reinforced with tensile cores and impact-resistant jackets. They can endure heavy loads, high-speed movements, and crushing forces without compromising electrical performance. This keeps your equipment running smoothly and safely. 

High-quality cables reduce long-term costs. Trailing cables are designed to lower maintenance needs and extend operational life. This leads to fewer disruptions, fewer replacements, and overall cost savings. 

 

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How do trailing cables handle constant movement without damage?

Trailing cables are designed with high-flexible materials like rubber or polyurethane. The inner conductors are stranded, which allows the cable to bend and move easily without breaking. They often have reinforced outer jackets to protect against mechanical stress, abrasion, and cuts caused by dragging. 

What materials are used to insulate trailing cables for harsh environments?

Trailing cables in harsh environments are insulated with materials like EPDM rubber or thermoplastic elastomers. These materials resist chemicals, moisture, and extreme temperatures. They are also resistant to UV radiation, preventing cracking or degradation when sunlight exposes them. 

How do trailing cables prevent signal interference in industrial applications?

Trailing cables often have braided or foil shields around the inner conductors to prevent signal interference. These shields block electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby electrical equipment. Some trailing cables use twisted pair designs to cancel out external noise, ensuring reliable signal transmission. 

Can trailing cables be customized for specific voltage requirements?

Trailing cables can be customized for different voltage ratings based on the application. The conductor size, insulation type, and shielding can be adjusted to meet low, medium, or high-voltage needs, ensuring safe and efficient power transmission in machinery or industrial systems. 

How do trailing cables handle extreme temperatures during operation?

Trailing cables for extreme temperatures use special insulation materials that can withstand high and low temperatures. For instance, silicone-based insulation can resist high heat, while neoprene suits colder conditions. These materials ensure the cable remains flexible and durable even in fluctuating temperatures.
