The TROMMELFLEX PUR-HF D12Y11YU11Y cable is a flexible low voltage reeling cable engineered to perform reliably under high mechanical stress. Designed for critical applications where frequent movement, twisting, and bending are inevitable, this cable is an ideal choice for industries such as port operations, shipbuilding, and industrial automation.

Its unique PUR (polyurethane) outer sheath provides exceptional protection against chemical exposure, UV radiation, and saltwater, making it suitable for permanent underwater installations (up to a diving depth of 50 meters in non-drinking water).

Manufactured in compliance with stringent standards—including DIN EN 60228, IEC 60228, DIN VDE 0293-308, and DIN EN 60332-1-2—this reeling cable is built to ensure both safety and performance. The cable's core consists of finely stranded, bare copper (Class 5) that is twisted with a short lay length around a central textile carrier, offering high flexibility and low electrical resistance.

The halogen-free polymer insulation further enhances its dielectric properties, while the inner sheath, also made of a halogen-free polymer, ensures stable electrical performance in challenging environments.

Reinforced with polyester braiding, the cable gains additional mechanical strength and impact resistance, essential for high-speed reeling operations. With a rated voltage of 0.6/1KV (up to 1.2KV) and a test voltage of 2.5KV, it is designed for applications requiring robust power supply at low voltages. The cable can operate continuously at a maximum conductor temperature of 90°C and withstand short-circuit temperatures up to 250°C. It functions reliably across a broad ambient temperature range—from -50°C to 80°C for fixed installations and from -40°C to 80°C in flexible use—ensuring consistent performance even in extreme weather conditions.

Additionally, this cable exhibits high resistance to torsional stress, rated at 50° per meter, and a permanent tensile strength of 25 N/mm². It is optimized for reeling operations with a recommended travel speed of up to 180 m/min, making it an excellent fit for systems that require rapid deployment and retrieval.

The TROMMELFLEX PUR-HF D12Y11YU11Y cable is not only built for durability and performance under dynamic mechanical loads but also offers long-term reliability in corrosive, marine, and industrial environments. Its design is ideal for powering equipment in ports, shipyards, and underwater installations where exposure to harsh elements is a constant challenge.

For industries that demand a combination of flexibility, robust mechanical properties, and high environmental resistance at low voltages, the TROMMELFLEX PUR-HF D12Y11YU11Y cable delivers an optimal solution that meets modern operational and safety standards.
