NSHXOEU-O / NSHXOEU-J 0.6/1 kV Flexible Mining Cable
Combined O single-core and J multi-core 0.6/1 kV flexible mining cable for tunnel, open-cast, quarry and industrial routes.
NSHXOEU-O / NSHXOEU-J is one combined 0.6/1 kV flexible mining-cable page covering the O single-core and J multi-core configurations. The supplied VDE datasheet positions the family for underground mining, tunnel building, open-cast mining, quarries, construction sites and industrial routes with medium mechanical stress. It describes finely stranded tinned copper conductors to DIN VDE 0295 and IEC 60228, 3GI3 EPR insulation, core identification by colour or black numbering, a GM1B inner sheath for multi-core cables and a yellow 5GM3 outer sheath. The source lists 3 kV main-core testing, 90 °C conductor operation, 250 °C short-circuit temperature, fixed service from −40 °C to +90 °C, fully flexible service from −25 °C to +90 °C and a maximum water temperature of 40 °C. O entries include 300 mm² and 400 mm² single cores; J entries cover the supplied three-, four- and five-core arrangements. The combined page prevents duplicate O/J records while keeping the technical distinction visible for purchasing and engineering review. Confirm whether O or J is required, together with water condition, site classification, conductor size, route, bending radius, current derating and termination before ordering.
NSHXOEU-O and NSHXOEU-J construction
The supplied NSHXOEU family covers an O single-core configuration and J multi-core configurations. Both use finely stranded tinned copper, 3GI3 EPR insulation and a 5GM3 yellow outer sheath; the source specifies a GM1B inner sheath for multi-core construction and identifies the core arrangement by core count.

| Parameter | Source-listed value |
|---|---|
| Conductor | Tinned copper, finely stranded class 5 according to DIN VDE 0295 / IEC 60228 |
| Insulation | EPR rubber compound type 3GI3 |
| Core identification | Up to 5 cores coloured according to DIN VDE 0293-308; from 6 cores light with black numbers |
| Inner sheath | EPR rubber compound type GM1B; not for single-core cables |
| Outer sheath | EVA-based rubber compound type 5GM3, yellow |
| Page structure | O and J configurations remain on one canonical product page |
The O/J distinction changes the core arrangement and ordering data. Do not select a single-core O entry where the equipment requires the multi-core J protective-conductor arrangement.
Applications for NSHXOEU-O / NSHXOEU-J
The supplied application covers flexible use and fixed installation in underground mining, tunnel building, open-cast mining, quarries, construction sites and similar duties with medium mechanical stress. It lists indoor and outdoor use, plus use in explosion-hazard areas subject to the applicable site requirements.

- Underground, tunnelling, open-cast, quarry and construction-site routes with medium mechanical stress
- O single-core configurations and J multi-core configurations listed in the supplied data
- Indoor and outdoor installations, with the source also listing explosion-hazard-area use subject to site rules
- Permanent waste-water service up to 40 °C is listed; groundwater and seawater use is more limited and must be confirmed
- Confirm conductor size, core function, fixed/flexible mode, current derating, water conditions and termination before quotation
The source provides a maximum water temperature but does not make every water environment interchangeable. Send the actual fluid, depth/route and movement conditions with the RFQ.
NSHXOEU-O and NSHXOEU-J specifications
O and J configurations are kept on one canonical page. The supplied tables retain the separate single-core O and multi-core J entries so the buyer can compare construction, diameter, weight and electrical values without creating duplicate size pages.
