MINING & TUNNELING CABLES
Mining cable selection at a glance
Which mining and tunneling cable fits the duty?
Choose a mining or tunneling cable by movement duty first, then verify voltage, grounding and protection. Fixed tunnel feeders may use screened or armoured MV cable such as 2XSEYQY; Type W supports applicable portable power without ground-check; Type G-GC adds grounding and ground-check; SHD-GC covers shielded portable mining power in the published 2–25 kV range. Powered reels and LHDs need a cable matched to drum diameter, pull, speed and cycles, such as NSHTOEU 0.6/1 kV. TBM routes may require an MV reeling construction such as (N)TSCGECWOU. Confirm conductor arrangement, bend route, mechanical loads, jacket exposure, terminations, standard and documents before ordering.
Selection boundary: the table below narrows the cable family. Final suitability depends on the machine, route, electrical protection system, local rules and the approved project specification.
Mining cable selection table by movement duty
Use movement duty to shortlist the construction, then verify the electrical system and mechanical limits on the linked product page.
| Application duty | Cable route | Published voltage | Confirm before RFQ | Product |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed tunnel distribution | Screened, armoured MV feeder | 2XSEYQY: 6/10 kV | Fixed or approved equipment route, earthing, terminations, armour and bend limits; not continuous reeling | 2XSEYQY |
| Portable power without ground-check | Controlled dragging or non-automatic reel handling | Type W: 600/2000 V | Conductor functions, grounding scheme, size, movement, bend path and applicable code | Type W |
| Portable mining power with ground-check | Flexible round portable or trailing connection | Type G-GC: 2000 V | Grounding and ground-check circuit, conductor size, route movement, jacket duty and documentation | Type G-GC |
| Shielded portable mining power | Mobile or semi-mobile equipment requiring shielding and ground-check | SHD-GC: 2, 8, 15 and 25 kV | Voltage class, screen and grounding design, size, jacket, bend route, terminations and protection system | SHD-GC |
| Underground LHD powered reel | Repeated payout and recovery on mono-spiral or cylindrical reels | NSHTOEU: 0.6/1 kV | Drum geometry, cable pull, travel length, speed, cycles, guides and support requirement | NSHTOEU |
| TBM medium-voltage reeling | Moving MV supply for tunnel boring machinery | (N)TSCGECWOU: 3.6/6-18/30 kV | Machine zone, reel route, MV termination, control and protective conductors, moisture and abrasion | TBM cable |
This is a family-level screening table, not an approval of one cable for every mine, machine or jurisdiction.
What determines mining and tunneling cable price?
There is no reliable universal price per metre for this category. Two cables with the same conductor size can have different costs because voltage class, screens, grounding, reinforcement, jacket, movement duty and acceptance documents change the construction and production scope.
Movement and protection
- Fixed, trailing, basket or powered-reel duty

TEBAOFLEX supplies mining, drilling and tunnelling cables for underground mines, open-pit operations, quarries, TBM projects and heavy mobile equipment. The range covers low-voltage and medium-voltage mining power cable, trailing cable, reeling cable, TBM cable, shielded portable cable and flexible rubber cable. Use this page to compare a cable family by movement duty, voltage, grounding, shielding and environmental exposure before requesting a project quotation.
A mining cable is not selected by voltage alone. The same machine may need a fixed feeder, a dragged trailing cable and a powered-reel cable, each with different bend, tensile, torsion, abrasion and grounding limits. Send the equipment and route data with your enquiry so the proposed construction can be checked against the actual duty.
Mining and Tunneling Cable Families
Fixed tunnel and mine distribution: screened or armoured medium-voltage feeders such as 2XSEYQY 6/10 kV tunnel power cable for approved fixed routes.
Trailing cable for mobile equipment: flexible Type W, Type G-GC, SHD-GC and comparable constructions for drills, loaders, pumps, cutters and portable substations. Confirm grounding and ground-check functions rather than treating the cable names as interchangeable.
Mining reeling cable: cable for LHDs, shovels, draglines, stackers, reclaimers and powered drums. Drum diameter, winding layers, speed, pull, guides and cycle count control the construction.
TBM and tunnelling cable: medium-voltage reeling and auxiliary cables for tunnel boring machines where water, slurry, dust, vibration, restricted space and repeated movement occur together.
Low-voltage flexible mining cable: 0.6/1 kV power, lighting, pump, control and VFD routes where oil, water, flame, abrasion and repeated handling still need to be reviewed.

What Determines Mining and Tunneling Cable Price?
A reliable mining cable price depends on more than conductor metal. The quotation is affected by voltage class, copper cross-section, core and pilot arrangement, screen or armour, jacket material, reinforcement, minimum order length, drum packing, test documents, certification scope, delivery destination and the mechanical duty. Reeling and trailing cable often require a higher mechanical specification than a fixed cable with the same conductor size.
For an apples-to-apples comparison, ask suppliers to state the published construction, voltage, conductor size, grounding or ground-check arrangement, minimum bending radius, permitted tensile load, environmental rating, test basis and documentation included. A low price without the same duty and document scope is not a like-for-like replacement.
Mining Cable Supplier and Manufacturer Support
TEBAOFLEX supports mine operators, drilling contractors, TBM teams, OEMs, distributors and engineering buyers with product selection, replacement identification and project-based manufacturing review. Depending on the specification and quantity, the construction can be reviewed for conductor size, voltage, pilot or monitoring cores, screen, grounding, jacket material, anti-torsion reinforcement, marking, drum length and test documentation.
For North American projects, compare SHD-GC cable, Type G-GC and Type W by the complete electrical and mechanical requirement. For European or international projects, provide the requested standard edition and approval scope for (N)SHOU, (N)TSCGEWOU, (N)TMCETMPU and related cable families. Final suitability depends on the equipment, route, local rules and approved project specification.
