Type 41 Cable 640/1100V Flexible Scoop Cable

Mining equipment cables need to handle movement, abrasion, bending stress and harsh site conditions without creating avoidable downtime. This Type 41 Cable is designed for 640/1100V portable mining equipment where flexibility, screened power cores and reliable sheath protection are required.

Type 41 Cable for Portable Mining Equipment

This SANS Type 41 Cable is suitable for electrically driven machines, movable electric apparatus in hazardous areas, small pumps, fans, drills and shuttle cars. It can be used for both reeling and non-reeling applications, depending on conductor size and site requirements.

Key Benefits

Flexible Tinned Copper Conductors

• Class 5 flexible stranded tinned annealed copper conductors support practical handling in mining environments.
• Tinned copper helps improve corrosion resistance in humid, dirty or chemically exposed working areas.
• Available conductor sizes from 2.5mm2 to 25mm2 for different equipment loads.

Screened Power Cores with Pilot Core

• Three tinned copper or nylon braid screened power cores provide electrical protection and stable performance.
• One unscreened pilot core is laid with the power cores around a rubber filler centre.
• The structure supports control and safety-related functions commonly required in mining equipment connections.

CR Sheath for Mechanical Protection

• Inner and outer sheaths use CR polychloroprene rubber for durability in industrial environments.
• Open nylon braid reinforcement with minimum 16 nylon strings improves mechanical strength.
• Black outer sheath is suitable for heavy-duty mining and portable equipment use.

Built for Mining Site Conditions

• Temperature rating from -25°C to +90°C.
• Minimum bending radius is 6 x overall diameter.
• Designed for excellent flexibility and easy identification by cable marking.

Why EPC Buyers Choose This Type 41 Cable

For mining EPC projects, cable selection is not only about voltage rating. Buyers also need to check conductor flexibility, pilot core arrangement, bending radius, screen construction, sheath material and whether the cable is suitable for the intended movement pattern. This Type 41 Cable gives engineers a clear specification for portable mining equipment and helps reduce uncertainty during procurement.

The screened power core design, CR sheath and nylon braid reinforcement make it a practical choice for equipment exposed to repeated handling and tough site conditions. For related products, view our mining cables, reeling cables and industrial cables categories.
