SUBCAB Cable for Submersible Pump Motors with Control Cores
TEBAOFLEX SUBCAB cable is a composite submersible pump motor cable for pumps, mixers, mine dewatering and wastewater equipment where motor power, monitoring/control cores, screened VFD circuits or FO elements may need to be managed in one rugged cable.
- Primary use: submersible pump motors, mixers, quarry and mine drainage pumps, industrial wet wells and municipal wastewater equipment
- Construction concept: power cores with optional control, monitoring, screened signal or fiber-optic elements in one composite cable
- Drive systems: screened versions are available for VFD pump installations where EMC and signal reliability must be reviewed
- Wet-duty design: CPE or rubber outer sheath options for abrasion, oil, ozone and water exposure, depending on the confirmed construction
- Temperature and water service: supplied data includes wet-service designs up to 70°C water temperature and 50 m water depth; confirm the exact duty before ordering
- Quotation note: send the existing cable marking, pump model, voltage, conductor size, OD limit, control-core layout and VFD requirement
SUBCAB Cable for Submersible Pump Power, Monitoring and VFD Systems
SUBCAB cable is selected when a submersible pump installation needs more than a simple motor lead. In demanding pump rooms, mine dewatering routes, quarry sumps and wastewater plants, the cable may need to carry motor power, sensor signals, monitoring circuits and, in some designs, screened signal pairs or fiber-optic elements within one cable body.
TEBAOFLEX supplies SUBCAB-style composite pump cable options for buyers who need to replace an existing pump cable, specify a new pump motor lead or consolidate separate power and auxiliary cables. The correct design depends on voltage, conductor size, pump-entry sleeve, water depth, water temperature, VFD use and the exact control-core layout.
For a SUBCAB cable replacement, do not specify only by the model name. Send a photo of the existing cable marking, the pump nameplate and the cross-section or wiring schedule if available. The same general cable name may refer to unscreened, screened, control-core, fiber-optic or special pump-supervision layouts.
For VFD pump systems, confirm whether the screen must cover the whole cable, individual control pairs, or both. For long vertical runs, confirm voltage drop, pulling force, clamp spacing and cable weight. For water or wastewater applications, confirm water temperature, depth, pH range, oil exposure and whether the cable is permanently immersed or intermittently wet.
Construction
| Product type | Composite submersible pump motor cable |
|---|---|
| Model / search name | SUBCAB cable; SUBCAB-style composite pump cable |
| Power conductors | Flexible copper conductors, sized according to pump motor current and voltage-drop requirement |
| Insulation | HEPR or EPR rubber insulation options; exact compound and temperature class to be confirmed per construction |
| Control / monitoring cores | Optional integrated cores for pump supervision, sensor circuits or auxiliary control wiring |
| Screening | Available as unscreened or screened constructions; VFD installations may require cable screen and/or individually screened control pairs |
| FO elements | Fiber-optic elements can be reviewed for projects requiring interference-resistant data transmission |
| Outer sheath | CPE or heavy-duty rubber sheath options for wet pump duty, abrasion, oil and ozone exposure, subject to confirmed specification |
Applications
- Submersible pump motor leads in wastewater, industrial water and drainage systems
- Mine and quarry dewatering pumps where the cable may face water, abrasion and pulling forces
- Mixer and pump installations requiring integrated control or monitoring conductors
- VFD pump systems where screened construction and bonding must be reviewed
- Replacement projects where the buyer needs a cross-reference against an existing composite pump cable
Buyer Value
The value of a SUBCAB cable is not only the cable name. The important selection points are the pump-entry seal fit, the control-core wiring, the screen termination, the wet-duty sheath material and the documentation needed by the project owner.
Specifications
| Product family | SUBCAB cable for submersible pump motor power and supervision |
|---|---|
| Typical voltage classes | 450/750 V and 0.6/1 kV style constructions are referenced in the supplied data; exact rating depends on size and design |
| Water service | Supplied data references permanent wet use, water temperature up to 70°C and water depth up to 50 m for suitable constructions; confirm actual duty |
| Operating temperature | Fixed installation down to -40°C and flexible installation down to -25°C are referenced for the product family; upper temperature depends on insulation/sheath design |
| Chemical environment | Source data references chemical resistance within pH 3-10; confirm site fluid, oil, sewage, slurry and cleaning chemicals |
| Drive compatibility | Screened options can be reviewed for variable-frequency-drive pump systems and EMC-sensitive supervision wiring |
| Ordering format | Quote by voltage, conductor size, core layout, screened/unscreened design, OD limit, cable length and documentation requirement |
Dimensions & Data
The table below is a selection guide for common SUBCAB-style constructions. It is not a stock list. Final dimensions, weight and current rating must be confirmed from the selected conductor size, insulation, screen, sheath and pump-entry requirement.
| Construction family | Representative configurations | Selection note |
|---|---|---|
| Power-only pump cable | 3-core, 4-core and 7-core layouts | Use where the pump does not require integrated monitoring, screened pairs or FO elements. |
| Power cable with control cores | 4G + 2 x 1.5, 7G + 2 x 1.5 and similar layouts | Use where auxiliary pump signals need to enter through the same cable. |
| Screened SUBCAB cable | S3x power-core layouts with earth/concentric elements and screened control pairs | Use for VFD or EMC-sensitive installations after confirming bonding and screen termination. |
| Composite cable with FO | Power cores plus monitoring/control cores and FO elements | Use where pump supervision, data transmission or remote monitoring must be integrated. |
| Control cable variants | 2 x 1.5, 7 x 1.5, 12 x 1.5, 24 x 1.5 and screened control-core options | Used for control/supervision circuits where a separate control cable is specified. |
For replacement work, provide the original outer diameter and the available cable-entry sleeve size. A correct conductor cross-section alone is not enough to confirm fit.
Standards
| Visible standard claim | No unsupported approval is claimed on this page. Required certificates must be stated in the RFQ and confirmed in the quotation. |
|---|---|
| Material references | Source data for this cable family references HEPR/EPR insulation and CPE-type heavy-duty sheath materials for wet pump duty. |
| VFD / EMC review | For screened versions, confirm the required screen type, earthing method and any EMC documentation before manufacturing. |
| Test documentation | Routine test, dimensional report, material declaration or third-party inspection can be reviewed according to project requirements. |
| Certificate caution | Do not assume IEC, VDE, CSA, MSHA, FM, CE, EMC or other approval coverage unless the exact document is included in the TEBAOFLEX offer. |
