PCBU-GC-FO 5 kV Mining Power Cable with 24 Single-Mode Fibres Alternative — TEBAOFLEX
TEBAOFLEX replacement-specification review for PCBU-GC-FO 5 kV mining power cable enquiries. Compare the three shielded EPR phases, ground and ground-check conductors, 24 single-mode fibres and the yellow and transparent TPU sheaths before quotation.
PCBU-GC-FO mining-cable enquiries
An enquiry naming PCBU-GC-FO points to a 5 kV-class mining power cable designation used in Kabel Mining Korea literature for Latin American mines. The source describes three shielded power phases with EPR insulation, one grounding conductor, one ground-check conductor and 24 single-mode optical fibres, under a yellow polyurethane inner sheath, a reflective marking layer and a transparent polyurethane outer sheath. TEBAOFLEX can use the existing marking and circuit data to design a quotation, while the offered cable has its own drawing, material specification and duty limits.
Confirm the voltage first. The supplied sheet names a 5 kV class and shows a 4160 V marking example on the reflective layer, while one sentence in the same sheet refers to circuits not exceeding 2000 V. A quotation needs the actual system voltage, conductor sizes in AWG or kcmil, fibre count and type, and the monitoring circuit used with the ground-check conductor.
For a useful review, send the cable marking, the machine it feeds, the trailing or reeling duty, cable length and minimum ambient temperature. Our own (N)TMCGETMPU TPU-sheathed reeling mining cable is a starting point for a TPU construction with integrated monitoring.

Reference-model data: The values below describe the cited PCBU-GC-FO source sheet for specification matching. They are not a TEBAOFLEX production drawing, test result, certificate, inventory statement, or guarantee of interchangeability. A TEBAOFLEX quotation identifies the proposed construction and approved ratings.
| Element | Source description | Check on TEBAOFLEX proposal |
|---|---|---|
| Power conductors | ASTM flexible copper | AWG or kcmil size, stranding class, DC resistance |
| Ground conductor | ASTM flexible copper | Size relative to phase conductors |
| Internal semiconductor screen | Extruded semiconductive layer | Electric-field control |
| Insulation | EPR | Thickness for the confirmed voltage, temperature rating |
| External semiconductor screen | Extruded semiconductive layer and/or semiconductive tape | Construction and strippability |
| Metal shielding | Tinned copper braid on each power phase | Coverage and shield continuity |
| Optical fibre | 24 single-mode fibres | Fibre type, buffer, attenuation and termination |
| Ground-check conductor | ASTM flexible copper, TPEE or EPR insulated | Size and compatibility with the monitoring relay |
| Inner sheath | Yellow polyurethane (TPU) | Material and thickness |
| Reflective layer | Reflective tapes with voltage marking, example 4160 V | Marking text and visibility |
| Outer sheath | Transparent polyurethane (TPU) | Abrasion, cut and weather duty |
Where a PCBU-GC-FO type is specified
The source lists open-pit and underground mining machinery, especially equipment that is frequently relocated and dragged, where abrasion and friction are high.
- Loaders, pumps, conveyors and drill rigs.
- Longwall shearers and other mobile mining machinery.
- Circuits that need a ground-check monitoring conductor and optical data in the same trailing cable.
State the drag, reeling or fixed duty in the enquiry: the source does not give bending radius, tensile load or size rows.
